This city makes me so nostalgic that I want to double over and throw up every memory I've ever made...I'd leave them there on the grass in front of a church like they mean nothing more than-

Glass Bottles reviews
I'm trying something new: a collection. Usually I have an image in my head and write it out several different ways until the words say what I want them to. I'm planning for this to be a collection of various angles on the same mental image. Like messages in bottles. Sending multiple versions out there.

The Looking Glass
It midly bothers me when people mash Through the Looking Glass into Alice in Wonderland or vice versa, but that's not really related to this poem. Except all my references are post-wonderland.

Blood in the Water reviews
No summary for this one; it's very short. Mildly graphic/ morbid? Very metaphorical.

Public Access
I've come the closest to sharing than I ever have before, but it takes far less courage to simply celebrate those who have the confidence to believe in their own skill.

Intangible
Summaries for poems always seem a bit pointless, as the appeal to poetry is partially in the misunderstandings.

12
So sometimes I listen to three tabs of the same song, letting them overlap by 5 to 10 seconds until the song is unrecognizable. This is what comes out of that madness. No real title. 12 has no significance; I'm just tired of labeling these with words right now.

Unspoken reviews
Not really what I intended to say about this, or how I intended to say it. But it's nice to have an outlet. Also feels weird because now quite a few people I know in the actual world have the capability of reading this and I'm trying very hard not to let that affect my usual stream of nonsense on here.

A House Divided reviews
Standing together despite everything is so important. I know the election is super controversial, but hate and fear aren't going to automatically break through all the corruption. Remember, there are so many things you have a say in, especially on smaller scales. Getting involved locally and within your state will make more of a difference than protesting the past.
