Another video by my sketch group, The Knife Parade. My only contribution was being nit-picky during Sydney’s writing process, but I’m really happy how this turned out.

Old Home

Listless floorboards,
Scatty halls,

Cornice sagging,
Ornery creaks.

Winking doorways,
Censored windows,

Basement sweating,
Breathless preserves.

Obtrusive stud,
Barren corner,

Careless backfill—
Foundation spent.

You eat one goodbye
And crap out fifty hellos.
Smile, you’re still alive.

I look left, then right,
Two seasons know each other
Because I see them.

Here’s a last minute submission my roommate and I cranked out.
It had to be about a road trip and include a musical instrument.
