Bold to Assume I like Fireworks
The fireworks are epic,
and the lights are bright at night
The pops are all around us
The colors such a sight.
As they rise above the buildings
and expand in dots of gold
yes the fireworks are awesome -
Independent
I do not know what this all means –
Independence Day right now –
when redefining freedom
was different then than now,
how mindsets have since shifted
but some brains have stayed behind,
reshaping laws, procedures, -
Four AM
Sitting on my bed at night
Wishing for a star.
Come wave hello for my delight,
Night owls we are.
Come take my hand and lead me through the universe at large.
Bless me with your tinkling laugh
Among the planet shards. -
Grandparent story time- A 2020 version
Imagine- many years from now
with the iphone 66 and all,
how your grand-kids will look up at you
and ask about this all.
"Ah yes, it was brutal," you would say
as they gather round your knee. -
Blackout
One black square on one webpage
Another pops up too,
A third is seen if you scroll down
Soon there's twenty-two.
One blank square,
No writting on it
Inky darkness freeze,
And yet the power in the blackout... -
Think Fast
I can not think as fast as you
I'm not a genius either,
I work hard to understand
and you go ten times farther.
I do the problems at my pace
and you go times faster
And I'm not doing easy stuff!

Where I’m From
I am from coffee beans,
from bitter brews and cracked porcelain mugs.
I am from the steamed soy eggs,
the scent that clings to mornings
like an old, Chinese dwelling.

Snapple
There’s a Snapple on the general store roof.
There’s been one there for quite a while. About three years.
Must be nasty by now.

Childhood
I remember when a phone wasn't important to me
When all I wanted to do was play outside in the grass
Watch as the clouds wisped by in the sky

My Father's Wooden Bracelet
She’s picking me up
a waterfall rushing down her cheeks
covering me
as my beads absorb
the ocean in her palm
She’s a familiar face

November Fifth
No one can predict
Our country's future
Various people watching and waiting
Eager and scared for the outcome

Preserved Moments
Listen to the soft pattern
of rain drops falling onto the window pane
creating streams of water
that all end in a small puddle beneath the sill.
Feel the softness of a blanket
