Hot

It's so hot in here
I want to rip off the sheets
But then I will freeze.

Big Bang

There was a big bang
And I realized my safeguards
Were my prison bars.

Moment

That awkward moment
When they made a bad joke and
Thought I didn't hear.

Ecce

Ecce! angelus
Ab parve me considit
Eheu! cedit.

Look! an angel
Beside little me alights.
Ah! it leaves.

Idioms.

Honest to goodness—
What does that even mean, though?
English idioms.

Mortal

Am I as mortal
As the rest of this planet
Or will I linger?

Caffeine

Caffeine is a flame
That ignites my strangest thoughts
And makes me look weird.

Tighter

Should have held your hand
Just a little bit tighter
So you'd understand.

Tricksy

Tricksy, you are—false—
We hates it, yes we hates it,
Hates it forever!

Haikus

Sometimes I wonder
Why I write haikus so much
Maybe I like them.

I think I write them because I don't like blank verse, but I want to write something short and sweet and not rhyming, but it kills me to not have STRUCTURE and I need stuff like that in my life. I like haikus.

Make

It kills me because
I know how to make music
But I can't right now.
