Tuesday Girl
Saturday came knockin’
But couldn’t tell her no
I told you she’s one
Of the Devil’s daughters
Hands to yourself
But your mind still lingers
On Saturday’s curves
And yesterday’s nightmares
When Tuesday comes
You barely recognize
Because Saturday’s stench
Still drowns your bleary eyes
Yet Tuesday waits
Proud in her freckled skin
Knowing Saturday is temporary
And Tuesday never forgets
Nothing
Nothing moves faster than the speed of light,
But we’re moving at the speed of nothing.
Atoms rip apart,
And black holes surge.
Energy is not lost,
But where is all ours going?
Particles erupting
From an unstable purity.
Antimatter, canceling out thoughts,
Playing chicken in the mind.
One wrong swerve, a collision course to nothing,
And proving what can’t be disproved.
Magic Dreams
Two tired mermaids
Lay on Seal Rock
Crashing sun and white water
Against their salty skin
Secrets weren’t on their lips
But they whispered anyways
For the sake of friendship tales
Locking fishtails instead of pinkies
Greens, blues, yellow hues
They dream because they can
Giving themselves up to magic
And floating through the tide’s enchantment
Somewhere farther down
Fishermen lurk with pointy hooks
Lusting over the catch
Different dreams mounted on those walls
Though they’ll never net the mystic friends
Because they do not dream
Or believe in magic
Those imaginations, crushed by the swell
