October or May By Jimmy Chen

October or May 
By Jimmy Chen

October is like a basketball,

Orange, black and bouncy.

May is like a baseball,

White like the clouds

And round like the perfect sun.

Earlier today biking down a 2way,

The beautiful spring trees talked spoke,

And the curves of the road were astonishing,

Unsire if the biker is in the lane,

But, oh well, who cares,

That is not my problem.

A memory that brings sadness,

Then comes the loneliness,

The sun brings tears to the eyes,

If that was even needed,

As you continue walking down

The sun brings tears to the eyes,

If that was even needed

The big trees begin shading

You from direct sunlight.

Once in a dream, I was

Submerged beneat tropical waters,

Drowning, it seemed, but very graceful,

My mind was clear as the clean water,

And I began to think about the

Preciousness of a full life.

I never thought life could be so controlled

And graceful like the routine of a dance

If your movements and steps take fault,

The result is failure

But if done correctly,

Success is imminent.

Believe me, what happened next

is bigger than the human body

Those who are tall get looked up to like the sky

Even when it wants to be alone.

The worst thing ever said to me

Was with body language.

These days I’m like a gymnast

Trying to be flexible and move

tasks around to achieve a goal.

The goal is high and requires

Extentions but practice will

Make it routine.

Listen, life is a competition at it’s finest.

Once in October,

I met someone truly special

They changed my life

Though their influence was great

I was left with a feeling

Of longing

Lonliness bounces

Back and forth

Like the basketballs

In October

But it is not October,

It is May.
