New Year's

"Happy New Year!"

"I got a little lost; can you show me the way?"

"Inauguration day is just around the corner!"

"Welcome to eleventh grade. You're almost out!"

"Hi, my name's what's your name? 

"Can he really do the things he's talking about?"

"I'll call you tonight, I promise."

"Another win for the Eagles!"

"I'll do it tonight, I promise."

"What's your name? Say your name for the camera, I'm a reporter."

"No justice / no peace."

"You have to know these things to graduate."

"If you don't practice enough, you'll never get your licence."

"Hey, can you help me? I got lost in those bright things on the ceiling."

"Shop at Target!"

"If you stay awake all night, you'll never be awake enough to practice."

"Surely, he can't do what he says he's gonna do."

"I'd stay awake with you all night, if you wanted."

"Second half of eleventh grade. We're almost out!"

"Here comes the sun / doodoodoodoo."

"Pass me the sugar."

"Hey, I got a little lost. I need more time."

"We're almost out!

"He's a good kid, his head's just stuck in the clouds."

"They're good kids; their heads just got stuck in the sky the wrong way

 

, and now there are stars burning in them."

    My face

    It’s a skull-shaped pot of wilted flowers on the porch waiting for the tide to rise, pick it up, and take it away to Dreamland, where it belongs.

    "Would you like a receipt?" asked Travis. The customer didn't want a receipt, and she left with her iced latte right as the sun was setting outside of the shop window. It was nine o'clock, midsummer. Travis got ready to end his day.

    I End My Day By Swimming.

    The lights in each of the doll houses are off.

    I, a giant, wander insignificant

    Among the grains of sand.

    When at last I reach the sea,

    I let it take me, 

    Dirt and grime and grease
