The Box

I took a stab at writing a poem for the first time.

i look to the right and see a wall

i look to the left and another one

i look north and see a wall

i look south and another one

i must be in a box

the walls get smaller

the box is small

so small

so small

stop

i am the box

the top is open

items placed inside

then sealed

packing tape, duck tape, super glue

i am the box

now i am in the box

but now the box is in a car, an Uber, a cab

this is a taxi

i pick the lock on the box

i see heads

Tyler tells me i am still alive

but soon will be dead

the box is in the ground

there is no light

the box is now glass

and i regain some sight

i am outside the box now

looking in

i can see through to the other-side

nothing

clear

Dear

fear

i can't hear

but then i stop

i touch the glass

it breaks

shattered

broken

there is no more box

or so i thought

as the walls get bigger

the ceiling gets higher

i am losing control

i am full

i am done

i am out of the box

free

then i stop

look right, nothing

look left, nothing

up, down, all around

nothing

all the sudden Josh knocks

i am still the box

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
