Giants of Realism


I love it when a dream is pulverized
          in front of my face.
I love seeing it crushed by the
          giants of realism.
Thrown into a blender, fast speed, liquefy,
          with a bit of scotch.
I love watching the giants chug it down
          just like a beer.
I enjoy watching these giants
          belch the alphabet
          with a dream.
I awe over a dream leaching
          out of the giants'
          enormous pores,
          like clay through
          a toddler's hand.
The smell of a dream burns
          my eyes
          and
          tickles
          my
          nose
Almost to the point where I sneeze
          out loud.

Jessica is a Colorado native.  She snowboards in the winter and complains about the heat in the summer.  
She will still go out in that hot Colorado weather just to play a round of Frisbee Golf or slackline with her
friends.  If Jessica isn't reading, writing, working, at school, or doing homework, you'll find her at a show,
usually a Ska show.  She hums when there's a lull in the conversation.  She sings in the shower and would
eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner if she could.
