Mystic904
Birds and bats fly at the same pace
Lads claiming been to outer space

Some just cant find a trace,
Of the truth that lies within their space

Some laugh at the poetry of craze
But a driven mind always slays

Trying to find a single trace
Of a mere fault in the perfect place

Managed everything so fragile,
Two words and a never ending space

Though some cant tie a lace
And some just cant embrace

The truth of life and the short race,
Striving to comprehend the confusing space
Every insight is terrifying
My psychiatrist says to me

And when I watch Europa Report
I think that I can see

Midnight Special I saw twice
In Charlotte while alone

And Arrival I watched at UNC
A Chinese Twilight Zone

                        Hidden Places ...
as a kid
there's nothing
like wasting away inside a tiny
room
sitting on the backrest
of the couch
looking out the window
and seeing her
tread through the rain

a red umbrella covers
her.

Mother

she's going back
to the liquor store

— The End —
