My Eventuality
Poem written for Creative Writing class. Topic: Founding Fathers
My Eventuality
We are backwards, upside down, and inside out.
Rebirth requires many a thing -
First must be last.
It's right to jump up jump up and get down -
Our Fathers wrote the poem of exposition allowing this,
Knowing it's our nature to have whimsical seams so attuned to rips.
Gravitational auras cannot be dampened
when
Willpower and discipline melt
and
Fear evaporates into subtle nothing.
Trillions of Mes and Yous and Its and Theys -
Kin is a word so often misunderstood.
Abuse Cannot Stand.

Tattoo Series
Tattoo Series prologue I was raised by a badass mother with some seriously cool ink. My older sister was a rebel from a young age, and she instilled in me a sense of IDGAF that I still carry with me to this day. Both women, along with countless media icons (Billie Joe, anyone?), inspired my love for body art. Folks with tattoos are the best of our kind. They have always fascinated me. I often find myself staring, wondering what each individual piece means to the owner. Maybe they mean nothing. Maybe they mean everything.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just beneath the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
