a cascade of blossoms
smiles on faces

I Don't Relate to Happy Shiny People | G. S. Katz
People who are happy all the time
Are a pain in my butt
I relate to moody and irritable specimens like myself
Who have to create out of despair towards the middle
Maybe that’s why I wear so much black
It matches my monochromatic moods
Looks smashing cool and keeps those shiny people in check
I love being me, brooding sulky and beautiful
Irony Unintended | Scott Thomas Outlar
I don’t want wisdom.
I don’t want truth.
I don’t want love.
I don’t want peace.
I don’t want revolution.
I don’t want sex.
I don’t want God.
I don’t want fame.
I don’t want power.
I don’t want faith.
I don’t want hope.
I don’t want passion.
I just want one more clever thing to say
on social media.

Shifting | Laura Dek
—Shifting, Shifting, Shifting—
Shifting worlds separated by but one
Endlessly running parallel
Destined to never meet
Half way yet never complete
Shifting, Shifting, Shifting
Crash, Collide
All destroyed
—Shifting, Shifting, Shifting—
Time | Kevin J. Johnson
Don’t tell me of happiness to be.
Don’t tell me of love everlasting.
Don’t make me wait for you, my dear,
Don’t make me keep on fasting.
Don’t wait for days, and days passed by,
That slip through fingers casting…
Spells of fairy tales which dwell
In moments quickly passing.

The Curse of The Uncaptivated | Daniel Klawitter
A lack of curiosity
regarding the world outside your window
(or worse—the world within you)
is a great sin. It is unforgivable.
No virtue can redeem the loss of wonder.
Unexamined certainties not pondered
lead only to unbelievable rigor mortis:
the mind turns turtle/the heart an armored tortoise.
If you find yourself captive in a room
where all the uncaptivated agree
there is nothing left to learn-
get out as soon as you can!
To wage war against all doubt
is an act of murder-understand?
It’s as bad as killing a child
with your bare and blind-boned hands.
