Popcorn and Chicken Fingers

Popcorn and Chicken fingers,
crowds full of random strangers,
Cups full of Pepsi products,
with the straws acting as aqueducts.

"Welcome to the dance" from the microphone,
the spotlight on you, dance floor, all alone,
Your band takes the stage and there comes a tone,
perplexing thoughts and stage fright moans.

The lights dim down, and then you become blind,
seconds pass but they seem like hours at a time,
the microphone crackles and static fills the air,
you quickly whiplash your neck, and style your hair.

Power chords are strumming, and the bass kicks in,
Synthesizers distort the the air and sound thins,
and the microphone makes one last sound as it clears for you voice,
take a step up, throw down some lines, make it great. Remember, its your choice.

Our little secret

Tides toss, and lightening burns, as we hold our secret tight. Take love in our hands, and we'll make it through the night. Waves press against us, and God begins to roar, as he tries his best to end this, and wash us upon separate shore. Whirlpools appear and tear from starboard to port, clinging to each other, as our only last resort. Lost your body in the sea, as oceans lay to rest putting love and heart, to its greatest test. I grab a breath as earth began to quake, little did I know, it's the last i'll ever take. We end up parted, You on shore one, I on shore two, My body lay lifeless, You take your finger to the sand, and write "I'm sorry, I love you."

I think we're good.

I think we're good. I think I know what I'm doing. I think i know how to lead my life, but I have a teenager leading his better. I think I have all the answers. I think I'll have a beer. I think I understand what it takes, to stay alive in this year, I think I want to be country, I think I want a f250, I think I want to have my wife leave me, and sing songs about it, wouldn't that be nifty? I think you understand, i wrote this about another. I think you understand, that this individual is hated. I think you understand, that this poem is outdated. I think I should have wrote this, When things got at it's worst, But no one intervened, No one stopped this curse.
