Not a sad poem

“Science Doodle” – Simone, 11/16

I screamed into the void:

“This is not a sad poem!”

This declaration was made atop a cliff
hurled out into the ocean

Not about the time we
screamed our lungs out in

the streets —

Saw your backpack as you ran

But this is not a sad poem

There are too many moments
passed
escaped
gone.

All of your friends
have ocean eyes

only mine
are
earth (and fire)
unflexible and
strong.

But
lionesses run in prides.

So this is not a sad poem.

I’ve just left you behind
to tag along instead of run
ahead.

It’s fine.

We’ll sail the ocean yet.

Maria puts pen to paper about this whirlwind year.

holly, jolly book recs for the holidays

This time around Robin, award-winning literature critic, is not here to rant but to be wholesome. He talks about books he has enjoyed throughout this impossible year. Books you might be interested in yourself or feel like gifting to your co-worker Bethany. Robin also talks about being quirky and his only interest at this point, which sadly enough is Star Wars.
