Gymnastics
You never know true life until youre flying on top of an 4 inch piece of wood. Or flying off a fiber glass bar 10 ft above the ground. Or running full speed towards an inanimate object. Yes, gymnasts are crazy. We are stronger than football players. We are as strong as Marines, that are forced to have the grace of a squirrel walking on a telephone wire. And we don't get to go outside with a rifle, a tail to keep balance, or pads to protect ourselves. We get to go out on the court in pretty thousand dollar leotards that ride up your ass. So try again, tell me gymnastics isnt a sport.
Futures are dim
I knew who he was. I knew exactly what he's done. I knew what he will do. No one could love him. No one cared about him. No one noticed him. He was the grumpy old man down the street. He sphated everything and everyone. But when he said he hated Christmas. That, that right there, I took it personal. I didn't meant to kill him. I just couldn't handle it any longer. He never knew it was coming. He never could've prepared. But he was an old humbug that no one missed. That's why I don't feel bad for killing the human Grinch stuck in my life.
Mario Kart
Racing, racing, racing. All day everyday. On the grind. I swerve and I drift. But I never fall off the track. If I fall off the track it's game over. I don't know what happens after game over. So I rewrite the books. I'm the fastest racer in the game. I am the champion. Who ever wants to challenge me has to make it past rainbow road.
Under the Barn
Theres this spot under the barn, she always used to take me there. That was before the humans took her to the zoo. At least that's what we like to tell ourselves when loved ones go missing. I heard them talking the same way they did before they took her last year. I had been stress eating ever since she was gone. I was worried about her. I knew I was the biggest Turk on the farm. That's why I hid.
I hid under the barn until snow came. I had survived another year. I hope you're proud of me darling.
Happy Thanksgiving
It was November, the farm had been taken over. He notices all his friends are starting to go missing. One by one, picked away from the flock. Most of them were turkeys. He doesn't understand why the humans always want turkey in November. But they're gone.
He has lasted 3 years on that farm. That was before the humans noticed him. He had benn getting bigger. Big man on campus get first choice at dinner. He decided it was time to leave. Before the humans noticed him.
So, he fled across the street to the wild unknown of Wisconsin.
