KATCH
As the waves crash
salt on skin
not knowing where memory begins
I feel the NaCl and I smile
There are traps set for me
loveless marriage because it's easy
or a life doing other's obligations
but I've got aspirations
the world will be mine and me the world's
I am more than a pretty girl
Fear me. Fight me.
Love me.
I am.
I will.
And you'd best watch out.
CASEY
Seeing the world in color and shapes
I never see just wallpaper
it's a landscape, escape
the result of St. Paddy's day
But what to do, where am I
caught between a father's hopes
and an artistic temperament
Casey O'Connor, this I am
Juno may be what I admire
but I am truly what I aspire
and this is real.
verily.
I make my own reality.
