Should have went with your gut
A boy and a girl from the university drive home through a bad part of town at night
She told him to go this way,
claiming this was a shortcut to the neighborhood
He didn't agree but listened to her anyway
At a stop light, a rock smashes their windshield
The girl is startled
The guy gets out of the car and takes a look around
There is a gunshot
The bullet goes into his left thigh
He screams and falls down
Two teenagers approach the car
They shoot the boy one more time
This shot is the fatal one
Right between the eyes

Vega Lyra
I’ve crashed with exhaustion for days
I’ve been depressed lost in a haze
I’ve had a dry spell in my inkwell
When I fell and felt those years were hell
And just when I wanted to be dead
The best years of my life were still ahead
I’ve had yearning for knowledge
Burning for more degrees beyond college
A thirst like I’ve walked the Sahara
A hunger for data
I’ve wanted to expand my mind
But now feel like I’m running out of time
Education has helped me in life
A guiding light through strife
When in dark phases I...

Brain Play
I know everything about something --
I researched it for hours;
took a deep dive into it
with hyperfocus powers.
I learned a million details
on my little study break,
completely unrelated
to the test I have to take.
I read a bunch of articles
and watched some videos.
My knowledge of the topic
is extensive now, I s’pose.
This rabbit hole of internet
was candy for my brain,
with dopamine aplenty
soothing math-inflicted pain.
I’m sure it will be useful
so you shouldn’t be upset;
I...

All Over The Place In Chicago, Illinois
I was in the city of Chicago during the beginning of college to find the best college that had the best spirit when it came to welcoming their new students.
I briefly toured University Illinois Chicago
Then I traveled to Ohio somewhere in time during an event known as Blink.
Enjoy, with Love and Hugs, always,
SKC🤎

I Was 18 and Stoned, Okay?
What do the stars mean?
Absolute realization of one's aliveness.
The wind is a cool silver stream
She could stand still and live the pinnacle of happiness.
But up ahead, he is the ocean,
Can she, just once, dive off the moon
and jump into him,
his entirety
which surely would welcome her
with ecstasy, not obstacles?
Alive, alive, alive
The silver wind blows
The midnight mountain is a treadmill
They walk without concern
A rustle in the trees
Piqued curiosity meets opportunity

THE EXAMINATION DESK
It was the day of nine o’clock G.C.S.E math’s exam. We lined up outside the lunch hall like conscripts awaiting basic training. The black painted mesh of the bike shed was flaking. I picked at it. I felt sick. I snuck into the drama block to smoke a roll up. It made me even sicker. I came back, I took my tie off, and then my jumper.
‘Where’s your tie?’ said Mr. Clumper.
‘I don’t feel well, you don’t need to a tie to pass an exam,’ I said.
‘Rules are rules. Put your tie back on.’
I obeyed. I looked at my friend. He was browsing a revision book. He was...

Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Caravansary of souls
Where my tender sprout of youth
Lived after the steam of tears
Misted into ghosts in the crystal ball
Of a womanly vision
For my future dream
Of return to the lost carousel
Of the doctorate dreams
I’d left for dead
The corpse of a hope
So long on life support
Whose plug I’d pulled ...
