There was an oak tree, a bench, a stream, and a willow.
All of these things have no place in this poem, but poetic significance never made sense to me anyway. Lets say the oak tree is me, and you are the bench, although I think youd rather be the stream, and I wouldnt mind trailing branches and whispering leaves.
No, I am the oak tree, and there is bound to be something in how Ive grown from something warm, brown, and wrinkled, cupped in a palm and patted under earth. Theres nothing romantic about being a bench.
 


Results DayFrankly, this was getting a bit ridiculous.Results Day
Shed had them for over an hour now, clutched in her suspiciously damp palm, but the only indicator that shed even tried to open them was a slight loosening of the envelope flap on one side. And that hadnt ended well. It wasnt that she was scared of the results, per say Just that she would be perfectly happy with never knowing what they were, and continuing her life in blissful ignorance.

We all know we're already dead.
My stomach is used to the aching butterflies. I've never enjoyed the feeling, but my father forced me onto roller coasters as a child, promising me that if I did not go, I'd be grounded. Some dad, right? It seemed like a stupid reason to be punished, though I knew that deep down, he really just wanted to be a kid. He just wanted to have fun wit


TidesNice place youve got, Ian. How long have you two been living here again? The house was one of ten or so on the entire street. Peering out the living room window, Akira could barely make out the rooftop of Ians closest neighbors, though he could hear the ocean tide crashing on the sand outside the back of the house just fine. Weve been here for about four months now. Hard to believe its been that long already, isnt it? Akira shrugged, white tank top rising and falling with his shoulders. I dont know what to think, really.

Subtraction by AdditionIts three in the morning. Bright lights almost obscure the night sky, it seems to glow a reddish color; a solitary man in his kitchen downs a glass of water with two small pills; in another room a teenage girl is working on homework; a boy composing music in a small studio; woman on the computer furiously buying and selling stocks; businessman making sales; politicians having heated meetings; a senator wipes his brow, hes been in this meeting twelve hours so far; at once, like clockwork, each glass at the table rises to meet an old political mouth, the pills sliding down their throats in unison; the tiring dusty men sudSubtraction by Addition
