3 things this morning but I'm only posting 2

The Slow and Somber Tale of Hope

It sounds nice when it is written down
and it probably could hold a nice tale
but The Slow and Somber Tales of Hope
won't have a meaningful place in my personal library.
No song,
nor story,
or even a poem
shall ever bear its name
in a context
having to do with theme.
And yet
as I write this
I almost wish it would,
Goodnight.

Everything's Going To be Okay

My alarm goes off at 9:30 every day.
I wake up at 9:30 every day.
Except today.
I had one of those dreams
where I was in a familiar place
but everything seemed new to me.
There were people there
who weren't really who they were
and saying things
that they wouldn't have said.
I don't know where I was going with this
but there was this girl
crying on my shoulder
but I couldn't quite remember
what made her cry
just that it seemed undeserved
and all I could do was hold her.
Comfort her.
Then take her for a walk outside
and tell her
everythings going to be okay.
"Everything's going to be okay."
