< the happiest place on earth >
they spent their whole lives
dragging the dream uphill,
just to die at the gates
smiling for the brochure.

< do u remember me >
x @ronnaldong
i kept rebuilding the doorway back to us
in brighter colors, hoping memory might click yes before the heart clicked no.

< w f h >
he worked from home,
or maybe from hell, long enough to learn
that keeping up with the joneses
mostly meant decorating your own cage a little nicer than theirs.

< work after life >
x @Ars0nic
he crossed into forever and was immediately asked
to circle back.

< differences aside >
x @TroyFitzpatric
they came from opposite ends of the fire,
but somewhere in the smoke
they found the same need to not go through it
alone.

< everybody loves you until they don't >
x @tiffatronn
people
love
the glow until it asks them
to see what’s burning.

< somebody else's problem >
x @coryvanlew
my
friend
that sounds like a you problem
to
me.

< wish you were here >
x noper (@bagdelete)
everything
was beautiful enough
to share
and
ruined enough to make them wish
you had never left.

< all my friends were here once >
x @Xer0x_XYZ
this place was once full of laughter, bad ideas,
and people i thought would always be
within shouting distance.

< monkey business >
x @justinaversano
by the time
anyone realized who was really in charge,
the bananas
were gone
and the books
were cooked.

< be a little chaos >
x @Scamart
if the world insists
on making you small, at least
leave the room
slightly
rearranged.

< they grow up so fast >
x @neurocolor
one day
you’re tying their shoes, and the next
you’re watching them carry things
you hoped
the world would wait
to give them.

< with all due respect >
x @rocketgirlART
she gave them
every chance to be decent, so by the time
she pulled the trigger, manners
were the only thing left on the table.

we were still small enough to believe
someone else knew how everything
would turn out.

< the eyes have it >
the face was polished, the posture was practiced,
and the eyes
were absolutely not cooperating.

< a stradivarius in the station >
x @Ed_Balloon
he played something priceless
into a room built for passing through, and for a moment
even the hurried world
almost remembered how to listen.
/ 17
< not my first rodeo >
x @bykellymcd
she moved like someone who had already learned
the hard way
that panic
never improves the ending.

it was needy; gone,
it became collectible.
