Mimics a phantom
Running so fast she crashes
She loved and left soon

A Vow, Maintained
She told her father
But he couldn’t disannul.
Head hung, she went on.
In a rush please move
I had somewhere to be but
Now there’s no point left
spinning side effects
dizzy, ditzy, heartbeat too
petals in a pile

Dry Whenever
No drink for me, thanks.
Oh, why? Just need a break’s all.
Deep breath. That’s better.

Don’t Pick a Fight
Because I’d rather
Fight a different fight now
One where we both win

Moments Too Slow
Still trust God’s timing.
Towel around her she slept.
Tomorrow-day waits.
Hot skin, cold air, bed.
Email—things spiral quickly.
Time to fight the day.

Precocious Indeed
“This isn’t too hard.”
Then she fell hard off the bike.
“And life moves on still!”

Such Is Love
Heart blooms toward him.
There is no safe place to love.
Heart blooms toward her.

What’s the Plan?
Pen, pencil, whiteout,
IHOP booth, endless coffee,
Plans that need making.

My Heart Stopped
The technician lied.
I found what caused the blockage.
You don’t wanna know.

Lightning struck the boat in half

God’s Mercy
If I had to choose,
Criticism than lashings.
Lashings than to die.

Practicing for What?

Perfected a cheesecake too!

We Strive for 5!
Ma’am, it was my sincerest pleasure. Have a lovely day!
Hey!
Hi, how can I help you?
I want the specials she got. I want stuff.
You can have things too. How can I help you today?
Hmmm… I want a chocolate shake but I only want it with half the chocolate but I’d like you to blend it with whipped cream in the blender.
That sounds nice.
And also no cherry but if you could put a strawberry….cut into a fan on top?
Side of fries would be perfect would that, wouldn’t it?
Yes please.
Yes sir. Ten dollars and fifteen cents total.
Thank you.
Thank you too.
Wow I want what he got.
Well what would you like today?
I want to tell you that I love the way you handle business.
Thank you. I know we really just want to be treated like royal—whoops I mean loyal—loyal customers.
(Both of them) Well, both.
They each catch themselves and laugh.
What would you like, sir?
