see it say it

blurt it

from memory

without changing

subjects quickly

for one word

affects so much

meaning within

this morning

clients and customers 

in business class

turned to 

students and humans

in history class

customers are

not students 

even reversed 

doesn’t equate 

so why does

the mind

when quickly

writing forget

to change gears

do not get 

things transposed 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

serving as the wall

the dock stands

above tumultuous 

water tides

rippling underneath 

or splashing its sides

supporting pillars 

sides exposed

soon are habits

homes really

for creatures

pivotal to the

environment around

in the summer

boards and people

welcome the

sprays of cold

while in the winter

they freeze above

making a rink

for steady

humans as yourselves 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

regardless of occupancies

rapid heart beats

anxiety apparent 

that moment 

when after

months of winter

chilled indoors

warmed sand 

swallows toes

with each step

a spot found

unfolding towels

laid for comfort 

with a tug

and a pull

the body is

uncovered slowly 

showing every

detail normally

reserved for

bedrooms and bathrooms 

though here

the amount of

skin shown

can make

anyone nervous 

at the beach

-Jennie Nawrocki 

it ain’t

how we thought 

maybe imagined

though what

will be

from here

to there

who is who

news seems

to change daily 

though I still 

haven’t figured 

it all out

-Jennie Nawrocki 

the race began

long ago

unbeknown to us

two philosophies

thoughts of society 

operations and movement 

how things are

disseminated to others

trickling down

or evenly turned 

for greater opportunity 

to be apart

of something 

never imagined 

until it was invented 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

honestly how

mistakes, wrong words

actions bungled 

within many

layers confused 

mixed and lost

effecting feelings

maybe cemented forever 

as a result 

though could it

would it

be a possibility 

we might 

be friends again 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

when seeing 

something that has

so much history 

the stories 

within are left

for interpretation 

for the tricky 

part always

resulted in 

negative loss

-Jennie Nawrocki 

spirits uplifted 

drowned with happiness 

leads to the spread of

spectacular exhibition 

to share emotions 

for bringing 

exuberance of event

some pictured for

all of history 

others wonder

goodness gracious 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

reciprocal conversation 

requires listening 

though combined 

with an openness

of mind 

excluding dictorialship 

of this is how

it is done

loses others

quickly and often

for without

those opportunities 

of question 

answer statement 

choices stifled 

thoughts close

unfortunate sad

conversations end

with apologies 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

dominated in everyway

for there is no move

to be made

without permission 

and accepting situations 

for these four walls

have required 

to ponder on

focused topics

on repeat

-Jennie Nawrocki
