Bump in the Road

When the power goes out and wifi's gone
When your nose runs in the chilly air
When online deliveries arrive late
When you can't fast-forward live TV
When electrical sockets are too far away
When your phone charger was left at home
When important emails are moved to spam
When your long fake nails chip off

Although the nuances are large and distinguished right now
In the big picture
All of our qualms, our joys, our experiences
Co-exist in one big world
Composed of a zillion little things
Although it seems swelled and prominent
It's just one more bump in the road
Trust that it'll be okay

  • fragile foundation

    every twist of inadequacy's blade

    (each one worse than the previous)

    fell in a rhythmic order, one that your silence

    carried in. did you hate me?

    you'd never say so. so blindly, i never changed.

  • sunday nights

    sunday nights are my own.

    old music in the corners of my mind

    pen scratches on paper, ten thousand poems

    two hundred and seventy-two

    little golden lights, 4 walls

    that mirror my soul.
