If I can't become Do I try? No dreams no dreams Indifference swells Backyard full of empty bullet shells Practice and play Stare at the screen for hours a day Wasting away With no dreams no dreams Where's my risk to take No risk No mistake Empty I wait for anything Nothing happens The world keeps spinning Spinning Spinning A cacophony of circular production My ears ringing in the resonance Copyright ©2007  Jason  Galusha Bennett

If I can't walk alone Will you come with me The stars they brightly shone From beneath the sea As I rise above the waves To walk upon the air Where is beyond the grave Will you take me there The wind blows in a rage The sky is falling down I flew into a cage And now I'm going to drown So I change my face To leap across the wakes To get back to my place No matter what it takes As I climb ashore Escape the waters deep Now just like before There's nothing left to keep Run to the edge of cliffs Leap into the winds And fall into the rifts Just to repent my sins As I ascend the planes Above the painted skies The stars bene

 Constance sat in class staring at the clock. She'd been sitting in her seat for exactly seven minutes and forty seven seconds. Still no teacher. She started to wonder why she'd taken Art Appreciation in the first place. Instead she found that she'd signed up for art history and terminology. Instead of finding an easy A she found a stifling environment where she was supposed to look at the art and understand in a way the "experts" understood it. She considered her teacher Ms. Dole the drabbest of the dreary. Yet for all her flaws Drabby Dreary Dole was always punctual. Triple D, that's what I'll call her from now on she thought as she mentall
