Sea of Friends

A Sonnet by: Patrick Price

By Patrick PricePublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

Treacherous waves, slamming at the galley

Skeletons fired cursed shots at the hull

A puny little sloop cannot get free

Survival slim, stressful as water fills

From the shadows, a brigantine starboard

How could this possibly get any worse

Another galleon, blocking sea forward

Symphony of cannons, sing in the air

The choir shattering the skeleton force

Skeleton ship dipping in the water

Reinforcements protect the sloop, of course

Cursed galleon sinks, caused by a blunder

Brig and galley, were absolute godsends

Together sailing unknown seas as friends

Raised by Sunlight
What if she had been raised by sunlight, by the gentle pull of dreams— not the sharpness of slammed doors, not the names that split her seams?

ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.
