In elementary school while in 4th grade, I met a girl named Marika. Her name was pronounced like the name Marie, but with a -ka on the end. Some boys called her “America” as a joke, but I couldn’t bring myself to make fun of her name because it was unique, unlike mine – Chris….

Ode
It’s just me, her, and the road underneath, She glides down asphalt like a sword into a sheath, I press down the pedal and zip into fourth, Top end evens out, giving way from torque. “This is crazy,” I think – the speed, the thrill! Like a lion on the hunt, going in for the…

“Hey, wake up. It’s your move,” Cecelia said. “Huh?” “Are you daydreaming again?” she asked. “I guess I was.” I took a pawn and moved it forward a space. “Well, it’s Saturday night and we’re sitting in your parents’ kitchen playing chess, so I guess I can’t blame you,” she said. “Look at the bright…

Poem-vember
I originally planned on finishing all of my “No Sleep” stuff on Halloween, but that didn’t happen. It’s finished now, and I think I’m done with that for a while. However, I hereby dub November “Poem-vember.” I never write poetry, mostly because I’m terrible at it, but that whole “practice makes perfect” thing is pretty…
