Evan Mancer 

 Regurgitate  

Nothing I could see would break the spell 
The pictures grinding through my eyes, 
A terrible sickness wrapped in film 
Projecting a hate into my mind 
No image I could see would turn back time 
I’ve never been tickled here  
but now I smile 
 
For my parts whole through the tale 
It’s all deserved 
I know we’re sick and insecure 
One day you’ll be allowed 
To seek happiness 
Long after we’ve gone  
It’s not your fault 
They know not what we lack 
 
 
Tybalt  
 
There are things you tell yourself 
That are not True 
Silence 
Safety 
An autumn never came around here 
Spring and Summer never cease 
The fields never catch a break 
A tactile foreboding in the midnight heat 
People wonder when earth will crack 
Some argue whether it even can 
They drank the future from the hill 
Abacus 
Release the gate where the joyous play 
A bounty lies in the mists of youth
