Strangers

She watched too many sitcoms, He read too many books

Son played too many video games, Daughter only stared at her looks

Always looking else where, never at each other

All awoke one morning, not recognizing one another

Red and Blue

Loose lips sink ships, and
You have everyone talking
There’s no more life boats


“Stay the course!” You said
8 years later, duck and run
There’s your legacy


The race of all rats
Pick your poison wisely, please
For it is your fate
