When life gives you lemons, squirt the juice in your eye.

And of course they made a new language. 
To keep secrets is hard enough
In a slippery, familiar tongue
And impossible, when some
Require restraint as briskly from 
the holder.

But to not breathe is to die, so these
Are rather rattled out through wire,
in code, 
In jumbled lingo, a mess
In flowers adorning clumsy confession
And he says darlin',
Everyone is a liar.

Apology


At 6:16, I went outside
And apologized to the birds
For damning them, every perfect morning.
Sad songs all at once, they did nothing wrong, they were just trying
And I cried for being so mean.

Why the Argument for Religion Does Not Hold Water


I cup my hands to wash my face,
Then fold them in to pray
But when I talk to God, it seems
No dirt is washed away.

Human to Try


If you only suppose,
What do you propose
We do with the rest of our day?

I'd rather one know
We may stop or go;
At least I will know what to say.

What's silken in us
May chance yet to knot
Or just as well just slip away

It is human to try.
But try for too long and
Edges exposed tend to fray.
