It's Time
Honestly, it’s hard to believe that as I’m writing this, lounging here in a big bus (treat from Iteam), I’m completing four weeks in Guatemala. I had no idea I would be able to do this trip. My brain was full of fears.

this looks familiar
When you’re trapped
in a place you can’t escape,
routines that never end,
drowning under piles of paper,
with the deafening sounds
of endless haunting expectations

Can I Go Back
Can I go back
Back to the place I call home
Full of laughter and love
The place where I sleep above my friend
As I'm surrounded by so many others

Wishing upon a satellite
Darkness
swallowing up the sunset
streaks of gold and orange and pink fading to a dark navy blue
then, finally
once the sky has been painted over with a seemingly endless coat of black
the stars come out

on knowing people whose first language is not this one
speaking to people with honey-thick & beautiful accents brings a whole new meaning to hanging on your every word

O Canada
O Canada
I am so sorry for what is going on
I apologize for a lot of people's actions
to specify, their stupid actions
O Canada
Vermont sends its condolences
