Land

I can’t land. Each time I try, here comes the fan. I can’t land. That looks nice and soft. Forget that plan. I can’t land. People, they might let me stand. I can’t land. A mountain top, far from man. I can’t land. Help me understand. I can’t land. Each time I get close; nope.Continue reading “Land”

Everything Man

At my old job, we had a production manager that could fix anything. One day I asked him about it. I’m always afraid that I’ll break things even more. A $50.00 repair might end up costing $200.00 by the time I get finished. He just smile and said, “broke is broke.” This was my firstContinue reading “Everything Man”

New Earth

2,030 marked the first human mission to Mars. Scientists were on this trip; people who were in charge of setting up the first ever base camp. Ground Y had already launched two BFS’s (Big Florida Spaceships) to Mars, full of cargo for the base camp. Earth held its collective breath as the big crafts landedContinue reading “New Earth”

To Pass the Time

To pass the time as my clothing dry, I stare out the window watching people below pass by. Watching people is fun. That white car drove around the parking lot for half an hour searching for that pot of gold. But no rain was around. A couple across the way, playing tennis. She and IContinue reading “To Pass the Time”

Always remember what you want to accomplish in your life. Always remember where you want to be in life. Always remember things could getContinue reading “Always”

You said you were a friend., that would be forever true. But when theContinue reading “Dedicated to a Friend”

A Picture

I did extend into the world a gesture, a picture into my world. An attempt to meet what the world would send me. For nothing was I looking. For nothing was I hoping. You could sat it was an attempt to spice up- an otherwise dull existence. People did I meet. People did I greet.Continue reading “A Picture”

Death

Have you ever wondered what death will be like? I think most of us do. When I was in high school, we had to read William Cullen Bryant. The end of this poem forever changed the way I few death. “So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves ToContinue reading “Death”

Prospective

Have you ever wondered what others think about you? Today, I’m wondering this. If you look at me, my right ear is crimson. Frequently, I rub my ear and scalp. My work environment is very subdued. There’s very little noise or wild gesturing. I know my behavior is suspicious. Does she have head/body lice, earContinue reading “Prospective”
