Where to begin in this almost passed year of 2020.
It wasn't fun, to put it simply.
It was kind of horrifying.
But- I mean- there had been some good parts.
Like the time when- um- Frozen II came out.
Oh wait no that was 2019.
Oh what about - uh- the booming economy because-
Wait nope that was in 2018.
Well- they had some gender reveals and-
No wait that kinda started a fire.
Oh what about the election of the first African American Pres-
What am I saying that was 2008.
Wait Hamilton! That's the one, that epic theater performance when-
Hold on, wait. Wrong. That was 2016
Maybe the low unemployment rates in-
No that was 2017 good god.
AH here's on:
The National Women's soccer team won the champ-
No, no never mind that was 2019 too.

You know what I think that's enough reminiscing.
If nothing else 2020  was a hard testament to our character.
And yeah. I'm ready to kick it into a black hole or duct tape it too a high powered ceiling fan.
Its time to hit the reset button.
At 12:59 on December 31, 2020 a new beginning of hope shall start.

And if the clock miraculously strikes 12:60 after we say happy new year-
Welp I'd will likely bust out a window and move to mars.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
