Obituaries and Yearbooks

It’s at this time of the year when we’re all so festive, so roaring to go. I arrive at the end of a 13 year-old year journey to continue another,possibly longer, journey. And so, everyone buys the yearbook. We gather around the pages, giggle at the people who were caught in mid-sentence, and search diligently [...]

The Stranger

Your eyes looked over me,
legs walked by.
You stood taller than me,
red,but why?
Why did you spend those many days
kicking persons out of your way
and thinking you were king of the hills
when all your act was a petty fill

Where Cars Go to Die

And the sky is grey
the lights,they’re dim.
The metal things line
up,here to pay.
One door down
and two wheels gone.

Father and I, we watched, eyes wide,
as mother burned and shook.
“Well,you and I”
Father he said
“Together still shall [...]

An Untim- Well, Actually, A Timely Death

The windows were up and the wind soaring past the huge metal doors beckoned to thrust into his face. The truck driver ignored the low whooshing sounds outside and kept his concentration on the road. His right hand was firmly placed on the manual and the other at 12 o’ clock on the steering wheel. [...]

Bathroom Etiquette 101

I’ve never had good bathroom memories. I’ve always had bad bathroom experiences. Ever since the first,fateful day I sat butt on a toilet seat, it seemed I would be destined to beplauged at my most private moment. Oh, how public bathrooms are my enemies. But of course, it’s never my fauly that going to a public restroom sucks…It’s mostly just everyone else.

So here is the normal scenario.

Mathematics…

You may not realize it but…Mathematics rules the world. It’s omnipresence is heavy on everything. Anywhere you turn, there it is. On the clock, on your phone, in your computer, in your kitchen….EVERYWHERE. And you know, it’s a sad truth but I couldn’t do math for the life of me. Oh sure, simple addition and [...]

Escape From Pink Flamingo

Ever since the age of 13, I’ve noticed the degrading state of everything around me. The poor people, the worthless dollar, and the disappearing Social Security have landed me in a negative haze where all I can think of is getting out of here.
