Problem Solved

If you are odd

like me

and

if you are strange

like me

and

if you want to fit in

like I do-

sometimes.

 

What do you do?

 

You can smile like

me

and you can

pretend to

like coffee and Reality TV

like I have

you can wear flip flops in the summer

and funny sweaters in the winter

and when something dark and wicked

pops up in your brain

and eats at your bones and makes your hands twitch and your eyes burn

you

just smile

like I do

and pretend to like coffee and Reality TV

like I do

and you wait until

it is dark

to

really smile

in your bathroom mirror

with

all of your teeth

Like I Do.

My Little Kite

” I want to sail free, like a kite” she cried  in ecstasy

from the bridge

called

Aurora

up into the clear blue  sky

of someone else’s  Spring

which had come  to her surprise

late in her Winter.

Okay

Winter agreed

who joined her on the bridge

called

Aurora

And Winter came to her

as it will always has for us all

in the form of a woman

dressed in black

and Winter roared

in ecstasy

as she pushed her off of the bridge

called

Aurora

to the gray, cold water  below,

” Fly my little kite. Soar. “
