In mourning early morning

J9 can’t sleep since
her mother died stays up and
writes heartache in tears.

Live your dream

Today J begins
flying not yet a driver
the sky’s the limit

Contemplating midnight urban exploration

We drive to where his
girlfriend’s dad says the haunted
tunnel is. We freak.

Sympathy pain

He drank to excess
so why am I the one with
the splitting headacne?

WV Oscar night tradition

They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.

Oscars’ best dressed

Bjork’s swan an urban
red carpet legend. Today
beauty takes no risks.

Oscar red carpet

So hungry but the
dress fits stumble past photogs
smile stop nod pose smile.

Night before the Academy Awards

Dreams of Oscars like
sugarplums dance in their heads.
Hollywood’s Christmas.

Head shop

Tie dye gauzy tops
plaid goth skirts hemp necklaces
you know you need ’em.

Sephora

Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.
