"In other words, keep your bad vibes out of my cornflakes I'm not interested."

                   -Gerard Way

Who says video games won't teach you important things?

Tetris taught me that trying too hard to fit in will just make you disappear.

If I can turn 25
Then 50 is possible
That leads to 100
And surely this me will be gone by then
Inevitable

Not enough
To understand
Time

Trying to understand a river
Being crushed by it
Against all the things
Plants, rocks, sand, mud
Rushed by it
It almost makes sense at first,
Then faster and faster
And finally
Drowned

Captive to words 
you think 
you speak 
you write 
you read 
Captive to words 
you hear
you retrieve
you see
you believe 
Captive to words 
the thoughts become 
persuasive
the voices become 
familiar 
the writings become 
non-fiction
the readings become 
feelings 
Captive to words 
the sounds become
damaging 
the fostering becomes 
comforting 
the visions become 
naturally 
the beliefs become 
reality 
VICTIM TO WORDS

Your wind is glorious
Your nearly blew over a ferry to Cape Cod and Nova Scotia
There is more to you than that
Your nights are sultry and velvety with starry blankets
Your lemony sun and turquoise make for great moments
Sunshine and lollipops
There is so much more to you than that
Beaches, vacations, reunions, weddings, and graduations
Milestones and memories
Your days are laid back and carefree
You are more than any other season
You give us a breather
Longer days
Rhymes are cleaner
Rhythms are crisper
Melodies are sharp
You are short and sweet but always remembered
Especially when we turn the clocks back in November
