Two house plants by a window in a warmly lit corner with a translucent black box over the image. Within the box is a poem titled House Plant by A.M. Watson, aka Artsy Magee:

One glance outside my window
Blesses my eyes with seas of green,
Of trees, and grass, and bushes
Waving at me, hoping to be seen

These magnificent, flourishing beings
Dancing together in the breeze
Hold not a single care in the world
Each doing exactly how they please

The world outside looks energized
So warm, welcoming and clean
But I chose to stay safe inside
Where no one can talk to me

No matter the day or weather
I stay safely behind a screen
Chalking all of my canceled plans 
up to my social anxiety

But I realized something today
Something that will make you beam
IT’S OKAY TO BE A HOUSEPLANT
And hide away from the evergreens

It’s okay to be yourself, even when
It’s hard to make others pleased
Not everyone has to live their lives
As if on the cover of a magazine

Adult

Then one day you wake up

And realize you’re an adult

And you’re rinsing out cans to recycle

Like your father, 

And you’re rubbing your aching hands

Like your mother,

And days whisk by much too fast

For your liking,

And imagination starts to decay

Like they told you would happen

And you’re stuck in a meaningless job

You were told to acquire, so you

Would have something to do for awhile

Which meant until the life was

Sufficiently beaten out of you 

And your will to live was as slim

As the hair on your head, a lost cause

To the society in which you bear

Upon caving shoulders. 

And before you know it,

The world keeps going 

On and on without you

As you lie still in the box you spent

The last few pennies you earned on,

Not even allowed to squirm around

And tell if it was worth it.

Stupid You

Your clumsy hands have

Slit my passion’s throat,

Right down the jugular

A crisp straight line,

A road that leads to

My dying mind’s eye

A black hole now

No thanks to you

Or to the girl you prefer

With words like honey

Simple and sweet

So you can understand

No tricks up her sleeve,

But oh, my words confuse

Your simplistic mind

Like a child 

Too meaningful and

Full of emotion

Too raw for your

Shrinking ideologies

Open your stupid little eyes

So you can see

The world I have painted

In your shadow

Drizzle

Long detested by most,

The drizzle comes down

Upon the once sun soaked

Town amidst Spring Cleaning.

To me a baptism, to drench

Summer into submission,

The perfect waiting game,

As Summer can push and prod

Impatient and imperious

To make frost heaved asphalt

Sizzle and deflate, shimmer

And expel Winter treasure.

The feathered rain remains

Spring’s single defense

Against her fast-paced sibling

Dousing the region in dampness

One half expects a billow of steam

To blanket and clog terrain

Instead clouds collect cotton

Tempered trails of mist

And the cool cloth of condensation

Insists that we revitalize Winter

For one last day.
