Quiet Room (poem)

dead, distraction, ignore, individual, poem, quiet, sober, Words, writing

Headphones in
Voices on each end
Of the cellular.

Don’t be someone’s bother.
Remain in their head, they would rather
Limiting interaction to the screen and their mental.

Video games in hand
Necks bent over
Like they’re not sober

Nor alive.

Take a deep breath 
It’s okay, I swear…
Fine, it is not okay. 
But, it will get better 
And that, I promise you.

Stillness in Defeat

Tags

The particles in the air were not moving. 
 
The bird’s warning was on its way across 
The frame of the window  
 
To be received by mouths opening their closing.
 
At the same time, the half display 
On the TV reaches out to the fleeing signal 
 
Adam eagerly reaches for God’s fingers. 
 
But not until the cup of tea frozen in time falls 
To nourish the ground 
 
The door is scarcely opening…or is it closing? 
 
The victorious team had just lost its victory 
Two scores and one inch ago.

#FoodForThought

What if it is not real?
What if the touch, the senses, the reaction
What if it is in the imagination? But
We’re too stubborn to let go
What if it isn’t real, and we can make it all go away?

Hooked

I’m not a fool.
I heard you discussing plunging that knife
Up my tummy
With your “homies”

You looked at me straight in the eye
While digging your tongue down her throat
And kidnapping her butt in your palms

But, I still wish nothing but the best for you.
