The Unanswerables
Life is made of the unanswerables
Because they are everywhere
Because everything we know has a root cause
And every root cause has another
Until there is no cause,
There just is

Tee Shirts and Blue Jeans
When she was little
She wore the same shirt every day
In different colors
The shirts where plain with a small design
Her mom bought her plenty of sweaters
With cute patterns and fun colors

I Am Young
I am young,
But if I where a dog I would be in my late 70s

Fake laugh,
Fake happy,

just another poem
I can't breathe,
I haven't felt like this in a while.
I thought it was getting better,

Hope but
In 2050,
In Vermont:
I hope there will be
the same amount
of forest,
but there may
be less
as there is now
from 1990.
I hope my children
will know
