Submissions

  • Hey Siri

    "Hey Siri. Flip a coin."

     

    All the time, I would take my burden-the weight of choice- and give it to Siri.

    Sometimes it was as light as a feather (red or blue)

    Sometimes it was heavy as bricks (stay or break up)

    Sitting in jars filled with pennies and nickels 

    Used to infer a trait of indecisiveness 

    Often people only really notice their likeness 

  • Bullets on Bikes

  • All In

    The sound of Wednesday rush hour traffic stumbled into Theo's haphazard apartment. It was a rough experience from all the senses: sight, hearing, smell, and even taste.
