Never again

24 hours is almost enough

time to catch your breath,

assess the room,

grab your keys from the floor.

24 hours is enough 

time to remember the route,

map out the area,

shut down the road.

24 hours is more than enough

time to stare at your reflection,

shake your head and say

"Never again."

80

In this city I don't recognize,

a prize sails through the streets

that lie underneath a lonely night.

My eyes have yet to wander

from who stares at me

with big bright eyes.

18 but it feels like 80.

Hard to rest when I'm

wishing you home.

18 but it feels like 80.

This is a first

and I hope it's a last.

Unnatural

We are all the same,

seeking want over need.

A reckless desire to push

through a seemingly endless crowd

without ever a thought to look back

and pick up those we knock down.

Get there

Often when I sleep

my mind resembles my eyes.

But my days are laced

with dreams I see.

Audible.

Imagined

but audible,

still.

But woven with potential

and promising wants.

Complete possibilities,

Complete desires.

If you were just a grain of sand, I'd still find you

This is merely our feet in the water

of a river that will move faster

than we can grasp.

It is a California roll

at an empty stop sign intersection,

and our road ahead forms a deep triangle.

I see them every day,

and I know you do too,

but I also see you.

Taking over, on top.

They're not ready

for all of the power you possess.
