Performance

Emotions dance on my playbill.
They appear on a stage of paper.


Expectation rises and tickets are sold.


Miss actress, present these sensations and dress them up.
Color them to the tune of makeup.


The audience waits for the curtain to open and the soul to perform.
The masterpiece is given. Listen to the applause roar.


As always the set is dismantled, just as it was constructed.
The spotlight shines for the monologue and goes black at the closing.


The auditorium is bare.
And still I feel like my soul lies there, just as Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 Dear Reality, I must be honest. You’ve been hard on me. You’ve tossed me back and forth. Made me feel helpless. Everyone said I have to accept you, but you’re toxic sometimes. I know we’ve been friends for a long time. I’m willing to work with you, but you need to compromise as well. You need to stop taking up my entire day. You need to be understanding when I have to speak with Imagination and Dream. Don’t crowd around me. Don’t pull me away from them. They are my friends too. I’m sorry, Reality. I know how difficult this is for you. I know you want my attention 24/7. You just can’t have it. Your Friend, Tamara

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.
