disappeared into millions

for every person

knows me

more intimately than

ever imagined

though they rely

on individuals

people with hidden

agendas so large

that someone like me

is only an ant

disappeared into millions

-Jennie Nawrocki

stacked as they are

side by side

in different lengths

mostly rectangular

in shape

filled with words

telling stories

grand and fiction

completely engulfed

becomes the reader

entering a world

all made up

for the writer

envisioned a scenario

that incorporated everything

they wanted

closed and shelved

stacked as they are

-Jennie Nawrocki

going back and forth

with moments blocked

keeping up with everything

from one day to the next

new developments

leaves me lost to know

events of future outcomes

for each day is a

new unexpected surprise

doubled in impact

leaving me wondering

about what to do

where to go

for as big as my roll seems

i don’t fit in anywhere

-Jennie Nawrocki

when under the weather

forced to relax

energy depleted

there is not the ability

to move quickly

even eating is difficult

with every effort

you move to function

for being motionless

doesn’t allow

planning to begin

activities attended

for a moment

of relief

from being sick

-Jennie Nawrocki

starting to realize

that maybe

everything isn’t

controlled by

one entity

but keeping

with democracy

allowing different

views, opinions

to be visible

heard and respected

giving everyone

chances opportunities

-Jennie Nawrocki

in the night

when all is dark

a person sleeps

from a full day

complete in slumber

across the bed

motionless as

the eyes lift

reveal pupils

what the voice says

barely audible

-Jennie Nawrocki

practice must practice

for when an event

requires your

inner strength

you never thought

was inside

for even with practice

the surprises

surrounding everything

detail how you

will be able

to effectively

and holistically

finish what

is about to happen

-Jennie Nawrocki

this page

seen before

even publishing

requires necessity

to know

these words

completely open

maybe vital to

world order

though actually

these words

relate only

inexplicable nonsensical

need to convey

random thoughts

-Jennie Nawrocki

years and years

struggles to succeed

either decides

at one point

clearer and justified

to what is

useless to continue

for effects bare

significant need

to understand

as an individual

or entity

submerged in

something that

would make

fairy tales seem

actual realities

-Jennie Nawrocki

are we friends

as the information

travels wires

completely invisible

filling our air

relate far more

than first glance

for words abound

all seemingly

show how

small we are

in a world

full of societies

ready to learn

-Jennie Nawrocki
