Honorable Mention wins me $25.00 and some respect

On a Day in May

The sun was fading in the western sky.

A new heart untouched, covered by the sea.

Time counting down as the hours float on by.

Change in face, in grace, has made them want me.

An update with a photo, it’s simple.

Displaying my colors like a peacock,

glance in the mirror, check for a pimple.

Stomach turn, time is calling from the clock.

Feet on the ground among the sea of roofs.

You shake my hand, the sun makes us glow.

We walk under shades and speak our truths.

This short meeting sold us and we now know

the search can stop and our hearts will unite.

From then till now, my love, a kiss goodnight.

NO...

I do not want to start dancing around University Hall while The Shins play

In my head.

NO

Nope, not me!

I'll sit here with my red drink and picture it

flat on my butt

It was warm in this building when I got here but

I got use to it.

My back hurts sitting on the hard ground

I'll get use to that later.

I'm too early for things to go up or down.

I'll just sit here and list things that I do not want to happen

while sipping on my cold syrup.

It's so cliche it makes my brain freeze

I never said please and I never said stop!

I cant relate, man... go tell your tales to someone who was there from day 1.
