Job Searching

My resume has become saturated as I search for my life's meaning Copy+Paste+ Cut The thin line between fact and fiction merge as I craft my life's accomplishments In an intricate manner, left with a pale and holo version of myself (someone I don't recognize, but the world admires)

Adventures of A Four Year Old Tema Girl

  Tema, Ghana '94 We planned our escape the night before I would watch out for Juwana and my older sister would sneak out and hide the supplies in my auntie's yard Filled with butterflies (our stomachs and the yard), this was the perfect plan, place, moment, and time. What were we going to do? …

Happiness In A Second
