Crayons and Eyeliner

by Alisa Js

here, let me trace the outline with this crayon I carry
in my pocket, for times just like these
let me handle the tedious work of outlining
the crevices
don't want to cut and destroy
blood runs thicker than water, I've heard
let's not try now...

take these images back, why don't you?
I've got copies of my own somewhere
in the back of my mind
complete with sound
amazing freeze frames of life
treasures too tender
to remain in this blazing space around my head
for moments like these
crayola!

scribble something pretentious and let me decipher
you know I'll spend hours analyzing
each minute detail down to the neuron
bet you didn't know I was a doctor?
did ya?

there are snapshots of time
we all have them,
why not string them together, we'll make a book or something
whatever!
not the time for sordid reflections

its my stop,
guess I'll get off here ....
