Sometimes the grass is
purple, sprouting from star baked
dirt, light years away.
An online commonplace book
Sometimes the grass is
purple, sprouting from star baked
dirt, light years away.
My sadness is packed
inside Home Depot moving
boxes. I’m finished.
Sometimes the grass is
greener. Building four’s oak rocks
a tailored moss suit.
Bones spur. Cartilage
tears, splits. Pain takes her sweet time.
Diagnosis: old.
Hours stealing years.
Pulled over for light speeding.
Mom…are we there yet?
MCA. Mike D.
AD ROCK. Madonna kissed punk
rap domination.
The neighbors planted
roses, soil dark and rich.
Wait. Those are tulips.
Blinded eyes. Voices
silent. Splintered benches sit
alone. Football rests.
Penalty given.
Gloved fingertips stretch beyond
her limitations.
