My dad says we’re the rain. My aunt says we’re the sky. My grandfather says we’re the earth. What do I think? I think we’re us. Continue reading It’s Raining

Death’s Hand

Humans are gone. The air is toxic. Death roams the land, claiming the few who have survived. Stores, empty, hope, lost Resistance, futile, accept death’s hand. Pollution, abundant. Earth is now hell.

Barclays Center is Closed

Seats are bare, So’s the court Weirdly the air Smells like a sport On the ground None of them make Any sound There are no People cheering People may think They lost their hearing The screen is Pitch black But soon the People will be back The court is So clean There’s no ref Being mean Buttery popcorn Spilled The seats where people once chilled The gift shop has empty hangers The food stand is not Selling their clangers.

The Book That Nobody Wanted

Boring book back by the bookshelf, Standing all by myself, Freezing by the AC, Afraid to get stung by the B’s. When suddenly the doorbell rang, Me and my friends looked up, To see someone walk past. He sat on the couch, And to our surprise, His blue eyes looked right at us. I always thought I was quite lucky. But now I see, The joy of being read. Continue reading The Book That Nobody Wanted

Sleeping (For a Long Time)

No one’s there When you’re sleeping Not even a bear And your brother is totally not leaping. Nothing you can do about sleeping, absolutely nothing Your sister may pretend and scream in your ear all day long And your brother is totally bluffing Also your dad is totally strong. But when you’re sleeping that doesn’t affect you at all Not when you’re sleeping Not even if you’re dying to go to the mall Even when you’re weeping You can totally still be sleeping.

The Very Weird Day

One day I just lay in my bed, 1,000 thoughts raced through my head. When sadly my mother appeared, The woman I most often feared. I developed some dread, I turned completely red. But when I fled, I luckily pulled ahead. But it didn’t last long, When I heard a big bong, I stopped and turned, And soon I learned; That mom burned A table that was overturned; But when I turned around, I found a compound- That held my dad, A very nice lad, Who was surprisingly happy, But certainly was quite yappy. This day is pretty sloppy I … Continue reading The Very Weird Day

The Ballad of the Math Museum

Come children, you can gather round And hear the tale that I have found It tells of an exciting trip That went quite ok, with a slip It happened when we were feeling weak At the end of the math test week That morning when we came to school With breakfast for our daily fuel We found the schedule board was blank And learned that it was not a prank And that, with hardly any fuss The teachers had arranged a bus And since the mood was really mellow The bus was new and colored yellow And while we all … Continue reading The Ballad of the Math Museum

I’m From

I’m from cartwheels on dewy clovers climbing trees in dirty sneakers from dusty chalk hopscotch S-L-O-W-L-Y fading in the rain. I’m from honking cars From an apartment building In a sea of houses. I’m from Taco Thursdays And Pizza Fridays Chick’n nuggets Watching Jeopardy at 7 While eating mac n’ cheese. I’m from pasta with butter and salt. From frozen yogurt With gummy bears Saving the red ones for last. I’m from Naomi Galloping around Bologna Town Our made-up fantasy world I’m from 7 grandparents One no more than a step away, While two are in Texas, prickly pears all … Continue reading I’m From
