I was in a hurry, but now am not Time is abundant, flowing, and hot I sit and I wait, unaware of the time Consumed by trouble, verse and rhyme Switching perspective, it changes me so When in a hurry, I always had to go But now I’m calm, yet worried as well I wish …
#18 Jumping off the Page
Bob sat down to write the story. He’d had the idea incubating for a number of years, but it was never complete until that day when he realized what the best resolution for the story could be. He was eager, and opened up the word document he’d been keeping for, what seemed like, an eternity. Today …

I’m in a hurry A rush you see I’m in a hurry Don’t you dare bother me Things to do, bags to pack A list a mile long Papers to gather, books to stack An urge to right all that’s wrong I’m in a hurry Time nearly ran out. I’m in a hurry Without a …

Each morning this winter, I’ve stood on the train platform, safely enclosed in a small heated room, provided to commuters to wait in. The room isn’t very big, but its big enough, and its about 60 degrees, as opposed to the below freezing …
#12 Dreams
A contact lens tinted green. Buttons I had never seen. A stolen car causing me to scream. Thank God it was all a dream. A 107 dollar gas bill. A snarky boss I’d want to kill. Running late onto the scene. Unenjoyable crazy dream! [SSDay]
