Momma hangs our sheets in the yard to dry and sometimes, the wind catches
like cow manure and sometimes honeysuckle or a post-rain breeze
hoping birds and bees won't swoop beneath magnolia trees
Racing down the court, the score is 12 to 10.
I steal the ball from red, and pass to my teammate Ben.
“Shoot a three, and we’ll take home a win,” I shout.
A cool wind blows past my shoulder
I turn to you and you look back to me
Flecks of sunlight fall through the cracks left by the trees and lay gently on your face
I smile as you reach your hand to my cheek
Uplifting?
You want to hear about
Something uplifting?
That's something
That's supposed to
Make you feel good, make
You dietarily regular, make you
Want to eat yogurt and dance on
Donuts
I don't mind if my studies whirl me through space and time,
Time, the dime that pays for our studies, our crimes,
The buddies, the lines, defined in our minds,
This beautiful music -
The key to my "Someday"
That is what I told myself,
And it was true
This beautiful music got me here
This beautiful music got me through
A childhood of pain
Scholl Started
but what does that mean?
The fun is gone?
No it is still here
I can now see my friends all together
It is such a great feeling to be reuinted with the ones you care about
God.Some of you may cringe because I said His nameBecause you expect me to be religiously insane.But I’m just another human, like you who’s got something to say,
Hear me—
From this abyss,
From this vast emptiness,
From my nothingness,
Hear me—
From balconies, from hillsides, from mountaintops,
I shout to you,
When the world has closed their eyes
Scream and Shout
Let it all out
The time is near
With no need to fear
Graduation is here
Soscream and shout
and let it all out!
