under

kiss me where
wrappers fall
below weathered green planks
close your eyes
and imagine the cheers
are
for us
i would clap
if it wouldn't
give us away
to
the happily oblivious 
up there
we can crumble
together
if we play our cards
right now
and 
then wrong.

idle

lost schedule
late for class
in dreams
recurring
as frequently
as rain
my shield
is melting
my feet stuck
in its residue
will she fly
off the handle
when your report
hits her desk
wings would
help
me.

depth

the closer
routine slides
in my direction
the farther
i wander
from bridges
unburned.
i am more
depthless
than ever.
