a plastic bag does sad, slow cartwheels
across the quad; modern society’s response to the tumbleweed.
this was once an empty plain.
we build,
brick and mortar our way
across plains and tarmac once-green forests
so we can fly planes,
and I wonder,
as i look at this entirely constructed world,
if it wouldn’t be nicer just to see
a real tumbleweed.

fog
what is it about foggy days
that feels so
poignantly beautiful
to me?
maybe it’s that you can taste the air,
the heaviness of the water saturating it is a reminder that
the air even exists at all,
which is a fact that we
never really ruminate on.
we allow ourselves to overlook the
fundamental aspects of life too frequently,
and the fog is a soft reminder of this.
or maybe it’s how

a lovely part of the jersey shore, and home of bruce springsteen. or, the apt title given to him by my friend, “the jesus of jersey.”
it’s such a beautiful juxtaposition of old dilapidated buildings and new construction. it’s bizarre to imagine that 50 years ago, it was a booming vacation town, a destination that families flocked to to enjoy the sand and surf. now...

I’m bored
and your conversation is droll,
so I’ll let my fingers tap dance across this keyboard.
you know I love that clickety-clack
like raindrops on a tin roof,
and feigning productivity is an art form
(in some cultures).
