Dirt road


Chillin on a dirt road

Windows open

Dusty air fills my nostrils

It smells of pine, oak and gun smoke

The leather seats are oh so comfy

Click on goes the radio

My uncle connects his phone

Selects a playlist

Bohemian rhapsody plays and I sing

A new song turns on

Now another

Now another

A familiar tune fills the cab

A tune to which your toes start tapping

A country song

One about love long lost

On saint patty's day

Sitting in a bar

And wearing black

Because tonight they are wearing black

And Caleb's jamming out to playing air guitar

I start singing and savoring the moment

You are one in a million. That means there are 320 of you in the U.S. Find yourself. Create an army. Overthrow the government of a small midwestern town. Hi... I am a spoken word poet and that is the format the majority of my work will be. Some of these are work from the heart and some I did for school. I am a actor, a horseback rider, a sister, a member of the LGBT+ community, and an extreme introvert. I love kids, Netflix, video games, my pets, and I suck at every language I try other than Latin. (weird I know) I'm a Pisces on the Aires cusp. I act a whole lot like it too.
