Tomorrow I will be brave,
speak the words,
I want to say.
Tomorrow I will be bold,
moving forth,
in ways untold.
Tomorrow I will stand up,
make a change,
in many ways.
Tomorrow I’ll speak the words,

Tomorrow I’ll move away,
change my home,
no need to stay.
Tomorrow I’ll help you too,
finding ways,
to start anew.
Tomorrow I’ll change my life,
learn new things,
forget [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

He wears only ragged shorts and worn-out shoes.
His hair is long and stringy,
His skin is [...]

bottomless void that holds nothing
and wraps itself around everything
a smile that hides behind an illusion

masked by this great
divide
temporary addiction moving
from one thing to the next
filled by her only to be broken
filled by another only to be a token
of what might have been
on yet [...]
