Was on the Cross
nothing can compare

beauty?
true happiness?
life?

often we find them (though not all)
as the fiery catalyst for our choices
our future
and for our dreams.

crash

-ed into the old sycamore tree
Victims: Drunk passenger; BMW;

and tree

They just wanted to be

beautiful

No, I tell them. Be your kind of beautiful.

You may mock

"those tourists"
Sneer at the foreign language you think are blasting
harshly
in your ear

Would they think you

any better?

Evoke

emotion
Moisture fills the room
Water droplets paint the humid, dripping glass
It's 99 degrees!
The broken AC screams:
corona
rejects strangers in the house
Nevermind technicians
Life
is just peachy

Heartfelt empathic poetry to the poor soul who has this situation! it is possible haha

shook up like a soda can

stress filled swollen veins
worries crowd in between neurons
tight and taut- explosion

fizzes...
