Poem 26

The door didn’t slam

on the way out. Free

exit but a slow

exit. Countless

seconds holding this

pen to leave it beyond

the threshold. It wasn’t

the right fit. The night

wouldn’t let me forget.

Dreaming of people I’ve never met

places in cities off the map.

It kept calling me. Too late

to send to decline.

Portals

Blink and you were there.

When I needed you the most,

I didn’t blink hard enough.

Portal jumping was just

a game to you. My heart

was just a game. Couldn’t

find the second controller. 

Blinked and you returned.

Sweat driven

adventure fuled

dreams conquered

and

and I couldn’t remember your face.

Portland

Lift life, across open doors

flying sixty down

open highways. Breeze

flying through unkempt

hair singing along

to September in

the middle of

September. Do you

remember, the 21st night?

Leaving behind

the trouble nights

with mid level deduction

and a half bottle of Jack,

just turned the keys

and drove.

Our Land

We blamed everything on the Aliens.

They took our homes

they took our food

they took our wives

and we couldn’t stop it.

The dominant being

consumed what it pleased

and didn’t give a fuck.

It’s what we would do

if the Aliens never came.

They, we seemed to forget

that we

took the first shot.

that we shot first.

Trial and Error

The loss crawls over me

like the hand of the reaper,,

he comes for me. Slips into

my dreams, night terror,

monster under my bed

Mike Wazowski

took the night off.

The next day’s morning

glare wards off the sickly beast.

Left under the horizon

they’ll stay, forgotten

in the success of the

next.

Trainer Orange Ep. 41

Micheal staggered, watching the referee make the call, “Geodude is unable to battle, Franklin wins this round.”

Franklin heard the mixed cheers and Daisy screaming louder than everyone else. Martin couldn’t meet Franklin’s glare, only the aisle where his feet rest.

Vanessa stood in the corridor barely visible with her arms crossed never taking her eyes off Franklin.

Franklin readied his next, “Ponyta!” Michael followed, “Wooper!”

Vanessa showed life with a nod of disgust and a savage bite on her bottom lip. Franklin realized this match was rigged, all the type match-ups are in Michael’s favor.

“Begin!”

“Go, Wooper, Water Gun!” The light blue small Pokemon inhaled deeply and shot a stream of water towards Ponyta.

The flaming horse whinnied and dashed to the right leaving the water jet to splash into the first row.

“Ponyta, Quick Attack!” The flaming pony blitzed towards the unprepared water Pokemon sending him to the soft Earth arena.

“Wooper, stand up!”

“Another, Ponyta!” The horse only appeared as a blur dashing across the battlefield, greeting the opponent Pokemon with her engulfed mane.

Wooper’s eyes swirled around, unable to stand. “Wooper is unable to continue, Ponyta, and Frankin is the winner!”

Franklin returned Ponyta and embraced the sudden change in the crowd. Vanessa with the largest grin and her brother and sister cheering above their seat only Martin was absent.
