test later on
she adds
more sprinkles

zombi march
to class
smell of alcohol

thunderstorm
he checks on me
in my sleep

late at night
I discover you’re the one
heartbeats in sync

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

washing my face
in the mirror
those unhappy eyes

room of strangers
he fakes
a disability

spring chill
we refuse to wear
anything but flip-flops

young girls
dress up like sluts
college visit

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

crowded auditorium
during a moment of silence
a phone rings

paper tearing
the sound of dress shoes
tapping down the hall

forced to be silent
alone
my thoughts wander

sideways glances
at our silence
train whistle blows

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

bronze man
so many memories
for just one man

the bronze man
has more to say
than us

look ahead
in our path
a beautiful flower

cemetery ahead
I hear
the birds chirp
