I used to dream of ice cream, toy stores roller coasters and Star Wars It’s just dregs now, bitter A nightmare, Twitter I dream of my mother scolding Being more than senseless, molding My father at his cruelest Exaggerations, clueless My little brother stolen my arms not strong enough to hold him Running, searching, groping Falling into the ocean Gasping, reaching for the rungs Water filling my lungs Great depths Unknown wrecks Sunk ships misery No buoyancy Car accidents Missed tests Broken hearts Fire starts A gunman in the classroom A sudden crass boom Glass flying through the air People screaming, nothing there
