Inside Me
What Makes Up This Mortal
Sparkling lights
in the middle of the night.
The sounds of every child's
fantasy.
These are the things
that live inside of me.
Glinting waves
in the California sun.
A summertime love
that has just begun.
These are the things
that live inside of me.
A giggle.
A kiss.
A big cup of Swiss Miss.
These are the things
that live inside of me.
In the moonlight
making love.
A starstruck romance
without concern.
These are the things
that live inside of me.On this list
there is no we.
That's because it's
not meant to be.
A free-spirited
Pisces queen.
To change the world
with words, her
only dream.
These are the things
that live inside of me

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
