In Kindness and Cruelty

"I can tell you right now, she's not the one..."
I rolled my eyes and half smiled.
"Yea I know, but maybe she is? I mean probably not, but you never know is all I'm saying."
My sisters hefty Acura belted down the freeway, tightly hugging the curving stretch.
"She's really smart..." I continued "Tall and pretty..."
Then I stopped myself.
I was repeating myself. 
I became a broken record, I became my Mom.
This was before she left me hanging again,
the one who is not the one, that is. 
She is, however, the meanest fairy in the woods,
perhaps the fairest.
However, she is capable of issuing the most unfair.
She's kind in text and texting
and scatters happy faces across compliments, but
like her Father is to her
she has become to me, and she can't seem 
to get enough of him.

Bad Friendship Haiku

I hate our friendship
It really fucking sucks
Not much more to say

Silent Disco

"...do something creative."
she demanded
muscle memory slickly rolled
her eyes in a little circle
rising over my left shoulder
resting beside my right.
"Creative?" I thought,
"Haha, Ok" I said
taking the cardboard cutout.
I snuggled my hairy cheek
against the rough edge
squeezed my eyes closed
and smiled.
A quick snap and she snatched
her room mates head-on-a-stick
out of my grip and stamped off
like a spoiled child or worse
a jilted lover.
"Haha, Ok." I thought, but
this time in a more dismissive tone.
"Look babe..." I again thought,
"If you wanted to dance last night
you should of stayed awake."

Oceans

Such a deep blue
like oceans of oceans
blue
what am I to do?
mirrors on mirrors
of me, of you
I have no time
only alibis
I have no fear
only courage is here
Delicate white
on the water
dancing on delicate
twilight.
Rivers
shimmering
