Poem: Not What it Was Dreamed to Be

She had to try out the dream
To find out it wasn’t the fantasy
Her mind has made it up to be
The girl who had been so free
Traveling the world on a whim
Convinced herself that a farm
Out in the country was for her

Poem: Boredom

On fire escapes
Where we used to smoke cigarettes
Before it became passé
Killing time between being drunk
And the inevitable hangover

New Horizons
Five days since touchdown and watching the Earth rise in the distance framed by Phobos and Deimos still amazes her.
At the beginning of the journey there was quick hugs and tears as her parents pushed her into the last transport off the planet.
The asteroid was coming and there was not going to be time to save everyone. Somehow she was one of the lucky few.
