THE COMING INTO THE REALITY OF ME by Wynter Evans

I woke up this morning and for the first time in 20 yrs., I took my hand and I
caressed the essence of me. I ran my fingers through its twist and turns.
I pulled and intertwined its twirled pieces. I acknowledged its thickness,

hanging on the wall the 3 life cycle theory came to me. [more]

Cool At the FIVE SPOT by Camille Tomlin

A couple years ago I came to the realization that I'm not one of the
cool people. I know it's a strong statement to make but my psychologist
