they hold our future in front of us
feverish and bloated.
while they talk mountains of
our forgotten talents.
they stand above us with
words like porcelain.
while we lay sleeping in
antique textbooks.
our hands are trembling,
our eyes are shifting.
we smear our faces
with drops of failure.
while they pat our backs
for participation.
we spit nails at
the ones we love
while they recite romantic tragedies.
their hands are judging,
their eyes are staring.
we hold their future in front of them
feverish and bloated.
while we talk mountains of
their forgotten talents.
we stand above them with
words like fire.
while they lay sleeping in
our dirty jeans.
we wake up again at 6 am
to get them to school by 8.
they wake up again at midnight
our dreams just aren't enough.
