Don’t Try to Understand
By Bethanie PowellThe words that I say may confuse you
corrupt your mind
drive you crazy
but the one thing
it is for sure to do
is kill you
make you cry
try to run
but the words
will find you
Ode to Bunny
By Angi ClemO, furry friend with aerial ears
Short in memory, but long in years
You hop, you stretch, you yawn, you drink
But as I can guess, you do not think
What passes through your fuzzy head?
You eat, you run, you go to bed
Bored Salacious
By Zoë ChristiansonThough you’d never admit me to be justified
in saying “no,”
I think you know why I’m doing this.
Too often
I catch you staring at me, wanting me,
but never know how to say
what I have to say.
Father Problems
By Cory MclaughlinFighting never ends…
Words back and forth…
What will come next?
Why do I put up with it at all?
What to do?
Why try anymore?
What is the point of things?
What should I do to fix things?
I need help…
