Ruby Clarity
She’s back in the game
The life she once knew
Has gone down the drain.
Run, run, run catch up
With the sun. She only
Shines when she feels
Like it. Time to shine
This little light of mine.
It grows, and grows, and
Grows and the whole thing
Will seem like it was only a dream.
The rabbit hole is only as
Deep as we let it go. Today
Will be yesterday,
Tomorrow I heard her say.
Why is it so hard to
Say I’m sorry? Why is it
So hard? Why do these
Questions propose further ?s
I told you before and I’ll tell
You again. Any friend of
Yours is mine, Valentine.
Giselle, Rodney, Cole and friends,
This is where life begins. Amen

halfway
i woke up in the middle of the night feeling rather disillusioned. the nightmare ended with me flying over a seemingly infinite chainlink gate and falling to the ground without a single scratch. this angered my father and i believe that was the point my eyelids flickered open. it took me a minute to realize the time was much earlier than expected. i hurried into the kitchen in hunger and made a sandwich. as i applied the condiments, a tiny cockroach scurried across the countertop. disgusted, but not enough to kill, i carried the sandwich to my bedroom in total darkness where i immediately scarfed it down. i didn't want to spill jelly anywhere and i was apparently starving. i walked over to my desk and gulped the remainder of the apple juice i'd poured at bedtime.
then i regressed; but only for a moment.
then i continued to harass myself with the same worries that consistenly haunt me to do so. i ached for a better life, free from distress and confusion. i wondered why it took a nightmare to open my eyes, why my head couldn't be this clear before; how the future of the world could seem so foreign. i wondered and wondered. then i settled and lay back down to sleep until something more substantial came my way.
