College II

Lucid Dreaming on a Tuesday,

enveloping my consciousness like a letter you never meant to send.

My window seat bed, toasted by the sun

My body is frozen, in the depths of an ocean of synapses

Firing, like a bullet from the civil war.

Evacuate the south, I am suffocating in an oxygen of regret.

A raven flying in a V of geese,

Forced into migration by disorder of priorities.

Living for today is tantalizing until you awake in the abyss of tomorrow,

The story book of life, a chapter of yesterdays.

Nostalgia encompasses the future, make sweet the heavy

Like jelly on a biscuit.

What have I been starving myself for anyway?
