Funny how we woke up in the morning 
and pretended that tomorrow never happened—
strutted naked in mirrors celebrating our youth,
laughing, knowing suns and moons couldn’t do the same.

We borrowed our arms from the fridge
and peddled bicycles with bad breath—
trading war stories ‘cause we knew 
if we came back alive
life would still be the death of us.

Your poem provokes strange, and mostly dark, images in my mind. But I have to confess that I like it nevertheless :) Thanks for sharing!

I found it punchy and you don't waste a single word. I love those two lines, 'strutted naked in mirrors...laughing, knowing suns and moons couldn&#8217;t do the same' in particular. I really enjoyed it, thankyou!

This was the daily poem on twitter today! A small victory when compared to your published work, but congratulations nonetheless!

There are some fantastic lines in this!  I especially love the last one "If we came back alive, we knew life would still be the death of us..."   A very deep and aching write.

" knowing suns and moons couldn't do the same."

Love that line.

this is literally one of my favorite things i have ever read.

I envy tomorrow for having never happened and regret yesterday for having already been... I yearn for five more minutes of the present but in the same breath would throw it all away.

I really like how you put this all together. Thanks for your inspiration and support. Where I come from that makes you family. Peace and safe travels to you brother. May you always find inspiration within.

Love it. Love all of it. Rhythm, pace, words, ... I don't understand "arms from the fridge"  (human arms, guns, ?) image.

"life would still be the death of us" I love that...

Perfect. You are really good. In your other poems, the images colliding remind me of writer Tom Robbins' novels. I hope you continue to write creatively for a very long time. Best of health along the way.
