Midnight Haircut

It is midnight and I am getting a haircut on the lawn.

I am tired, but I shiver with excitement.

 

Gentle hands tug and snip at my curls,

And as they fall they take root in the grass.

 

I will never remember this happening to me,

Save for lonely forgotten dreams and

The strange feelings of Deja Vu that I feel

Any time I go to the barber shop.

    The Sweet Escape

    When I was a little younger than I am now, 

    I went home after school and wrote until bedtime.

    That was enough to take me into the stratosphere. 

    I'd play in the cloud for hours and hours.

  • Simon Peter

    I will tell you what I remember from high school, and I will tell you how you can follow in my sinful and lowly footsteps, that your blood might be as holy as mine.
