Resist.

Intransitive verb:  to exert force in opposition

My body has an obvious, outward reaction to changes in temperature and lighting. Even when there is snow on the ground, as there is now, in February, I can smell the springtime hidden underneath it.

I was once asked:

How do I use my creativity?

Connecting with the voices

Talking to them

While eating waffles and drinking coffee

Zoning out every new day

To feel the warmth of the indescribable

"Please take care of my human," 

the old cat whispers to the kitten. 

"They are scarred and broken. 

Until my return, 

take care of my human." 

The kitten is listening attentively,

in the halls, we lean against the bulletin boards

and whisper of the latest news, last night's breaking, articles snagged

in the moments before leaving for school. lots of adults

think we are too young to understand
