Carried

(1/1)

Carried

Mirror

Reflects what it is given

Double-sided

One side magnifies the imperfections

While the other makes them life sized and easy to handle

Shows the self-consciousness

 

Mythology and The Blue Djinn of Babylon

Fantasy disguised as fact

Creating an escape

 From the world around me

The myths we all tell ourselves.

 

Pencils

Only pencils

Pens show mistakes

You can't erase them

Maybe that's why

The erasers are half-gone

 

Wrappers and juice boxes

Reminders of lunches from the past

Shells of the nourishment

Once devoured

 

 Backpacks

Three of them

Carrying all the weight

Of my day

All the responsibilities and burdens

Of a senior

In high school
