Monday
Rejection
Run late
Elections
It’s a Friday
Let's lie down
We’ll figure
It out
Anxious
And waiting
But I can’t start
Crying
So it just
Follows
You know
How it goes
Your laugh
My smile
Let’s talk
For awhile
It's a tough crowd
You’re a good one
Maybe
We’ve won.
*Inspired by the song “Black Hole” by boygenius
One girl’s lanky frame against the dark turf field,
lit up by fluorescent lights
She saunters toward the building
holding another girl’s hand
The screen stares back at me:
9:30 pm,
an unfinished assignment,
a deadline due.
My weary chest heaves a heavy breath.
"Don't wait for permission to do something creative." - Ava DuVernay
