FOR ME AS MUCH AS IT IS FOR YOU

I IMPOSED THE QUESTION IN OUR DELIRIOUS STATE.
A CALM ABOLISHMENT CREPT INTO OUR HUDDLE. WAS
SHE IN THE WHITE? WAS SHE TRUELY IN YOUR HEART?
THE ANSWER WAS YES AND STILL IT REMAINS YES. NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT, TWO THOUSAND MILES WON'T DENY
THE FACT. WITH OUR PEN AND PAPER WE ADDED HER
TO THE WHITE. HER NAME, HER SOUL WRAPPED IN
WHITE.

HER TOUCH IS GONE, AT LEAST FOR A SHORT TIME, YET
THE FEELING REMAINS. HER PRESENCE IS GONE, YET
THE THOUGHT REMAINS. HER LIPS ARE GONE, YET
THE KISS REMAINS

FINALLY! FINALLY!

THE DISPLAY MAGAZINE CAME OUT AT GRCC. IT TOOK FOREVER. IN PAST YEARS IT WAS PUBLISHED BY EXAM WEEK LAST SEMESTER. OHH WELL. IT IS AWESOME. I GOT THREE PIECES IN: "A PLACE CALLED NIGHT," BE CAREFUL WITH THAT IT'S VINTAGE," AND "FORTY WINKS round two."
ASK ME ABOUT IT.

TIME'S TRY

THE NEW YEAR CAME AND BROUGHT
WITH IT AN IRRESISTIBLE LIGHT.
BRITTLE COLD BONES RECEIVE NO AVAIL.

FIBERS

ON THE BROW OF SUCCESS.
FLICKED AWAY BY A DIRTY CLOTH.
BECOMING A DAMP SPOT ON COTTON
AND POLYESTER. SOON TO BE EVAPORATED.

CHARLOTTE

REMINISCING ABOUT HIS FIRST WIFE.
STRAIGHT INTO COLLEGE, MAKING IT HAPPEN.
LOVING ONE ANOTHER FOR A TIME. HER WITH
CHILD, HE WAS NOT THE FATHER. THOUGHTS
OF HIS CURRENT WIFE ENTER HIS MIND, AND
THEIR STORY UNFOLDS. THEIR FIRST DATE,
WE DROVE BY IT. THEIR FAVORITE
RESTAURANT, WE DROVE BY IT.

GETTING SOMEWHERE

HIS HEART LIES WITHIN THE PEDALS. BRINGING POWER
TO HIS SLENDER FRAME. WITH EACH ROTATION HIS
PEDALS PULL THE CHAIN AROUND , CIRCULATING LIFE
WITH EACH MOVEMENT THE SOLES ARE WORN WELL
WITH EXPERIENCE ALLOWING FOR THE ONSET OF
KNOWLEDGE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARTH AND ITS
SURFACES YEARNING FOR THAT PERFECT ROAD NOT
OFTEN FOUND HE RIDES THROUGH THE HOLES AND
OVER THE BUMPS CHECKING FOR THE PAIN ONLY
AFTER THE ACTION HIS BACK BECOMES THE SEAT FOR
GREAT WEIGHT AS LONG AS HIS FEET ARE HOLDING
HIM UP AND THEY MOVE HIM FORWARD THERE ARE NO
WORRIES NO CARES IN THE LIGHT AND DARK HIS EYED
REFLECT IT BACK YEARNING FOR THAT PERFECT ROAD
HE RIDES UNTIL HE ARRIVES FROM THERE IT IS NOT
WORK ANYMORE JUST ENJOYMENT AT HIS HIGHEST
SPEED HE RIDES UNENCUMBERED HE RIDES FOR
THOSE MOMENTS

OHH MICHIGAN

WINTER'S BARREN CHILL COME LATE EACH YEAR
FOR A SOMEWHAT UNWELCOME STAY IN OUR
NORTHERN TERRITORY. ITS GUSTS PLUCK
ANY LEAF FROM OUR TREE'S GRASPS, ANY
LEAF THAT AUTUMN HASN'T SHAKEN DOWN
HIMSELF OF COURSE. AS WE LOOK TO THE
SKIES FOR ANY FAINT FLUTTER OF THAT,
EARTHBOUND SUBSTANCE. A SHUTTER RUNS
THROUGH US AT THE NEWS OF WINTER'S
RETURN, PRAISING THE SIGHT OF A
SOMEWHAT COLORED CHRISTMAS DAY.
IT JUST GOES TO SHOW US THE UNPREDICTABLE
NATURE, THAT IS MIDWEST WEATHER.
