I can't stop crying
Some people can't even start
I ponder on which is worse while choking back tears

Technology makes it so easy to be intimate despite having voids of separation between souls,
Taking tiny screens and filling them with the image of joy,
Talking at it for hours on end,
Burning the night away into bliss,
and yet...

There comes a time
When your Heart
Is ready to accept
That it is torn apart.

There comes a time
When your Eyes
Are able to accept
They made you blind.

There comes a time
When your Mind
Is prepared to accept
They told you lies.

There comes a time
When You
Are capable to accept
They don't want you.

And you shouldn't want them.
They didn't accept you.
Even though you loved them.
They sadly didn't care for you.

You'll be fine without them.
You'll live without them.
There comes a time when you
Accept you were too good for them.

“When I was in Graduate School…”

“When I was in graduate school when I
Was at Oxford when I was working on
My doctorate at the Sorbonne when I
Was on my fellowship when I was hiking

The Andes on my gap year learning from
The Colourful Natives when I received
The Something-Something Prize for Young Poets
From The Oppressed Grant Recipients’ Front…”

One notices that

Literary articles never begin with
“When I was busting my knuckles on the drilling rig…”
