Snagged


Click

 

Adjust my bow tie.
Put on a façade of fanciness.
I love the Met.
Or is it Carnegie?
Kimmel Center?
Honestly can't tell
Sounds the same to me.

Click

 

Cracked sidewalks.
Camden maybe?
Strutting down the block.
Or is it swagging down?
And why are my pants so low?

 

I Feel

Empowered.

 

I Feel

Energized.

 

But not my tempo.

Click

 

Light breeze brushes my face.
Swaying side to side.
Sitting on a hill.
Under stars.

Alone.

 

But...

 

Never alone.

 

I Feel

Happy.

 

I Feel

Truly happy.

 

 

 

happy.

 

 

 

POP

Damn.
Not again.
I should really stop moving around.
Headphones
always get snagged
on the door handle.

I like to write. I like to act. That's pretty much it.
