A Tightening 
By Vanessa C., Wrentham, MA
i could feel yer person lying lonely in the meadow.
Long time gone it comes and goes.
Staring awe struck at cheap plastic
stickers of stars.
i remember the day i put them up for you.
Not ten minutes old and you'd found another
- attention span in its rapid decrease.
Once you laughed at the heavens symbolic
- vanity overriding Truth yet again.
And you think yer so clever and silly and free.
But i'm watching you still in the darkness.
And i'm seeing yer smile.
It's forced.
