Particular Moments

More Stars than There are

Month: September, 2013

“It’s Free” Rain

And then came the deluge–following an endless brooding–and everything was once again, alright. The past two months of suffocating and over-baked habitat of this town had received its reprieve, and became livable.

But what’s home? Everywhere and Nowhere–there are those who are obliged to constantly endure, adapt, and overcome the unfavorable. And this so called harbor of discomfort in the eyes of the pampered, by comparison, suffices far more than what’s required of a safe haven for the less fortunate. 

The Institution

Brown tiles and tanned walls—

Seats and sculptures in shades of gray—

The institution sits

On heavy, concrete bricks.

 

Full of rigid corners and

Filtrate air—

That which so asphyxiates,

 

The institutions build

Big, burial grounds

Over Intellects.
