Picture of a Fourth of July sparkler held in someone's hand. The poem to the right of the sparkler is titled, "Independence Day" by A.M. Watson (@artsymagee). 

The poem:

Yet another American holiday that has been
Boiled down until the alcohol has evaporated
Leaving nothing in the pot but white residue
We don’t have a clue how it affects the Indigenous
As we cram the porcelain slop down their throats
In an attempt to bleach them and uproot them.
Red, white and blue scream into whiteish, blue faces
Filling them up like noxious balloons, set to
Pop off on anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
We celebrate freedom from a country we have
Easily become the mirror image of, giving us
Nothing to celebrate but hypocrisy, and honestly,
A massively corpulent American lie.

Exciting news, folks! 🚀

I'm thrilled to announce that my first official poetry book ✨All American Waste✨will be launching on April 4, 2024 on Amazon! Just in time for #poetrymonth and #indieapril 🤍

A little about the book...

"All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on! Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the 'American Dream,' the poems within the pages dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!"

Untitled (5:30PM)

It was 5:30 pm and you were laughing as the

Breeze was knocking my hair all around me

The smell of the beach stuck under

Our noses

I glanced at you and could help

But to smile

That's when I knew

I could glance at you for

The rest of my life

Untitled (Love Yourself)

I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh

even when you find it too rough, too loud.

I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun

even when you're on the verge of breaking down.

I still know that flowers grow from your skin

and that life exists from within

even when you pick them out like they're a sin.

I still see summer in your smile

and hear spring in your sigh

even when you think it's dead season in your life.

I still love you for you

even when you don't love yourself too.

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.

Sometimes I want to crawl into stranger's backyards and explore them for their natural wonders that remind me of my grandmother's land that was home to my greatest childhood fantasies.
