Hidden in my dreams
Maybe my deepest desires
Like an animal in the wild
They run free with no barbed wires
Where a second can be days
Yet days within eight hours
If I wake up
Is that really being free
What if waking up only imprisons the me I want to be.
Foggy pink sky
Grey and black grass
A room I’ve seen before
In a house I never have
The unfamiliar
Awakens a familiar side of me
Desires resurfaced
What was dead floating up inside of me
Anchored by day
Sailing in the night
Riding this wave
Because it feels so nice
Sometimes they are weird
My dreams are not clear
Sometimes they scare me
A dark reflection of what fears me
But every so often
They are like a rescue set free
Sheltered while awake
But the wild is where they’re supposed to be.
Those nights I close my eyes
Thrill for what’s coming soon
Close my eyes to the sky
Fall asleep to a Fool moon.

A-Living
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-Frame Cabin. I started to chuck on the inside. My boyfriend Nick asked me what was so funny. Do you not like the place Cassie? Of course I do babe, It’s perfect! We on some A-living shit right? I chuckled again and smiled as a symbol of agreement. He slowed down then parked on the side closer to the far right of the cabin. Don’t want to block our view with this shabby car, he said as he looked at me nervous. I smiled at him and reached for his face while gazing in his eyes to give him reassurance, this is perfect babe. I could tell my comment was validating and a calmness came over him. He grabbed my hand and kissed it, Thank you babe. Okay so let’s go, he said as he opened the door with excitement.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

The CEO of Everything
They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)
