Rice and bean soup

I had rice and bean soup for dinner

the rice was swirling in the broth

there was a single bean in my spoon

and just as I thought

I am the bean

the bean sunk beneath the surface.

    I'm walking on a balance beam

    I knew this would happen.

    We all work so hard for this

    You do too

    We try to include everything

    Every article

    Every story

    We can't

    We have page limits.

  • Used to

    I used to love fall

    nostalgia, pretty leaves

    now time flies faster.

    I used to have friends who visited my house

    just to say hi

    who biked by

    without a trace of jealousy of any boys I liked

  • Twisted

    I don't know

    what's going on.

    I am stressed

    not consciously

    but nevertheless...

    I had a dream

    they were all fighting

    some sort of twisted combination

    my school life

    orchestra life
