In Between
caught between here and the next
souls of the recently dead
looking for some direction
there seems to be no way back
and an unknown path forward
its here in the in between
that everything falls apart

Week 30, Day 205 – “In Between”
Week 30, Day 204 – “Halloween”
Halloween
when the fall air chills your bones
and the crimson leave smolder
pretend you are someone else
and scare the demons away
and i’ll give you some candy
a caramel covered apple
and all my love forever
Week 24, Day 165 – “Snow”
Snow
every different snowflake
does its part to cover up
the cruelty of the liars
Week 23, Day 160 – “Best of Times”
Best of Times
even in the best of times
i just want to take a nap
cover up with my blanket
turn all daylight into night
and then wake up tomorrow
one more day checked off the list
one closer to vacation
Week 22, Day 152 – “I am a Rock”
I am a Rock
I am Adarsh, the rock god
good and solid, always here
those who would wish to know me
need to only look around
everywhere, but unnoticed
winds and rain come down on me
and I just stand up taller
Week 19, Day 127 – “Mr. Sharp”
Mr. Sharp
nickel plated thumb tacks
pushed hard into my fingers
numbing out all the feeling
makes it easier to tap
out notes to favorite songs
tip tap tip tip, tip tap tip.
hello, mr. sharp is here
Week 18, Day 124 – “Thieves and Liars”
Thieves and Liars
stealing ain’t the hardest part
it’s keeping quiet after
you want to brag about it
tell people how you beat them
beat them all, beat the system
it’s talking that gets you caught
and you get stuck doing time
Week 16, Day 109 – “My Waitress”
My Waitress
hello kitty knee high socks
and you can make out the lace
of her slip under her skirt
she brings a plate of french toast
shows off her great big smile
and ask, “Is everything good?”
what more could a guy ask for?
Week 16, Day 108 – “Waiting”
Waiting
The cool kids drink Bellinis
sitting on the patio.
It was a long night, and now,
when there is no more music
they do not know what to say.
So they just sit and pretend
to enjoy the scenery.
Week 14, Day 97 – “More Better”
More Better
the tall boys don’t dance tonight
long legs like clumsy spiders
Miss Ringwald is more better
than Alyssa Milano
until the grown up versions
where Milano pulls ahead
pretty girls fall for tall boys
and tall boys fall hard for them
