is drama what it is? is it
real? Do we care?
Perhaps that's why it's drama.
My head
is a lake
a shimmering tree
rippling with present and thoughts
of speech.
My hands are full of ink.
Drama, the worm, brown
sneaks it.
Instead of polluting the lake,
it is a pretty, ugly rock
jutting up from ripples turned into waves.
A big, funny-looking bird sits in the tree.

The author's comments:
I dislike drama in my own life. Disharmony and gossip between people is never truly enjoyable and in the case of the former, mostly never wanted. The worm, the rock and the bird are all representations of drama, and how it disrupts the young life.
