think of all the books
you haven't read
imagine all the places
you've never been
realize every
song you have yet to listen to
or each sentence you've
not yet spoken

the sad truth of it all
is that if your cover
is not pretty
no one will want to
read your contents
truth
society
free verse

when we eat something warm
and then something cold
the temperatures of both
foods
balance out

so why is it
that foods coexist
inside of us
but people cannot
do the same?
this is dumb hahah

but all sleepless nights
are eventually worth
the morning sunrise
deeper meaning

i was like your favorite CD
used and scratched and
worn from use

except you didn't really
love my songs
or the sounds I played

you simply kept me
on repeat for company;
so the silence was
not as heavy

the smile lingered
on her face
while her delicate
fingers changed from
a graceful wave
with all five fingers
to a dance with
just the
middle one
underlying meaning

of course everyone
has something they
won't admit to
purely for fear of judgment

maybe you love
Sunday mass
even if your friends
would ridicule you
if they knew about that

perhaps you love
offensive
rap music although
your family
only tolerates country

and so what if
you absolutely adore the smell
of cigarette smoke
on the boy from the
city?

imagine enjoying whatever
you wished
pretend that these could
be called simply
(guilty) pleasures
instead
