Glistening in the bowl of milk,
I gaze upon circular wheat.
Made of honey and of silk,
My life is now complete

I send 10 spoonfuls down the hatch
slowly dozing off...
Because breakfast? No.
I like cereal as a bedtime snack
trying to rhyme

Mischief

in Michigan
means
making

The man took a bold step outside into the sunlight.
His glasses began delicately shifting to a shade of gray:
this made others around him feel uncomfortable.
I get a kick out of transition lenses.

Splashing in the salty foam
I caught sight
of a whale.

Not just any whale
but a humpback whale
and I realized

It's wednesday
****-day
humpback whales swim even on Wednesdays.

Then I realized
it's my birthday
I'm 18

I am an adult
for the first time
in my entire life
& it's gonna be great.
shoutout to all the February 26ers.

Days of Thurs

There's something quirky about Thursdays.
I don't know if it's that they happen once every 7 days,
or if it's because they sneak up on you after every Wednesday.
Or maybe it's because Friday is right after.
Maybe it's because you're supposed to eat tacos and only tacos
And put those three fingers into a bowling ball.
On occasional Wednesday nights it's good to stay up til' Thursday.
Whatever it is about this day: I know one thing.
Make every Thursday memorable.
thursdays are crazy

NO.
The tears on my keyboard
bespeak the pain
that is in my heart

I can't write research papers
about books
I can only read books

and besides
poems.
are the best kind of writing

Rooftop

It was snowy and cold
cause' that's how Michigan likes it.
But we didn't care.
When climbing the school roof
is right beneath your fingertips
or maybe slightly above your frozen hair
you climb it.
Well, we climbed it.
Timmy, Jake and I.
We got our fine selves on that roof
and feelin' super badass,
we stood and looked at our view.
It may have been just some
streets, cars, and telephone poles,
but it was the best view.
The snow was fallin, our fingers were icy.
And I don't know why
but everything is so much better on a rooftop.
A snowball fight needed to take place,
so it did.
Eventually there comes a time
when you need to jump.
So we jumped.
And did what you'd assume.
Drove our cars to the bowling alley
ate pizza
and knocked pins down
till midnight
which happened to be a Tuesday.

Shattered

I was once told a story
of a kindergartener
who slipped on her face
during class
and shattered all her teeth.
The teacher looked at the teeth
coating the floor
and told her students to
"Pick them up."
