elevator thoughts

By Emily Natanova

lobby
i step onto the elevator
and push for floor 12
a woman in a black dress rushes in and asks for 13
she has red-hair and her perfume smells nice
we wait in silence for the doors to close and begin our ascent


A Guitar, a Campfire, and a Spaceship

By Isaac McKeag

Whistle a tune by the fire with me friend
There's whole worlds out there,
but right now you're on this one...
So take it in

Freedom is only a tool,
Soon, you'll see that.
Timber giants stand among us here,
They cannot walk, but their spirits are reinless


The Fishbowl Theory

By Chloe Schoenfeld

A fish doesn’t know what water is

Questions

You need to clean your room, honey.

The answers don’t matter nearly

-I know, I will.

As much as the act of asking


Love Ghazal

By Kayla Brethauer

Two sleeves brush. In a single touch, it blossoms: love.
Wide-eyed, whisper anything in my ear, I’ll call it love.

Barefoot on a pedestal, white lace, floor-length mirror.
If you don’t cry when I walk down the aisle, is it love?
