Tuesday, December 9 - Persona Poetry

Jerome is
from the heart within
The product derived from passion
Crime infested cities
To the islands of Japan
Action is everywhere to be found
As well as drug-ridden mob bosses
Loved by many however
Small independence
Yet then grows to fame
Such is the life of
In medias res.
Often known
robbing diamond stores
or perhaps seeking revenge
someone will surely die
someone you know well
or someone you hate
What is it that I get from this
the feeling of accomplishment
and maybe living
what I could not before
It won't be clear
but I know I must continue
to do the things that
make others happy too.
So we go now
Let us make history
There is no crutch in the way
Make good movies

Tuesday, December 2 - Top Secret

It is a great day for snow and work is canceled, at least for me. My wife who works in the Counter Terrorism Unit must go to work, but takes a shower beforehand. I wrap up in my warm blankets and try to fall asleep. Everything is fine until I start hearing her voice coming out of the shower. She must think I'm asleep, of course, so who is she talking to? I begin to hear some secrets that weren't for me to hear. She reveals secrets that the United States government is buying up all the warm blankets in the country so that no one can sleep in during snow days. It is further revealed she is seeing someone else, an associate from her work as well.
Weeks have passed and she has left me and I have no warm blankets. Life is over.
