As your finger accidentally slips
The music reaches your soul
Not with the speed of sound
But with that of light

On Name Calling
The handmade pillow feels so soft
As your mind slowly drifts away
But only to be returned again
By the loud voice of the teacher
On Cleverness
You are searching and searching
Though you got it all wrong
The remote wasn’t on the couch
But in your hand all along
On Train Doors
Mutual feelings of insecurity
As you watch the surrounding passengers
Hoping for someone to step up
To press the button for instant freedom
On Morning Rituals
The shoes are tied
Your weight rests on your legs
The socks fit perfectly
You take your first step
The match has been lost
Your foot rises slightly
You realize when you look down
That the tiny stone has won again
On Tragedy
As you are about to devour that sandwich
Your teeth do not sink into the bread
Its betrayal leaves you longing
For the time when your lip was still intact
On Clothing in Summer
The feeling of relief
How the wind breaths on you
As you try to remove the heat
While looking like a bird
On Unnecessary Pain
Feeling how the chair resists
As it softly shoves across the carpet
You can’t help but wonder
Why the small toe exists
On Waking Up Early
Disappointment waits at the end of the bed
With a pounding feeling the button is pressed
The pillow loses its regular shape once more
Last night’s idea just disappeared
On Words
The idea of the end of words
Is the oldest form of conversing
To move those lips without meaning
Shows the disregard of society
The idea of the accuracy of words
Is the strongest form of conversing
To move those lips with intent
Shows the appreciation of society
The idea of the beginning of words
Is the youngest form of conversing
To move those lips without restraint
Shows the non-credibility of society
Society holds the value that
The end of the oldest shows no meaning
The accuracy of the strongest shows intent
The beginning of the youngest shows no restraint
Disregard for those without meaning
Appreciation for those with intent
Non-credibility for those without restraint
Shows the reversal of intellectuality
