Lobster Tank

A short, funny, blue-lit moment in the seafood aisle — about eye contact, existential dread, and toaster waffles.

Those lobsters watched me too directly
through bubbling seafood prison walls.

One waved a claw dramatically
like demanding legal representation.

I suddenly felt emotionally responsible
for creatures I never planned to buy.

The tank glowed blue with strange sadness
between avocados and frozen peas.

Why do grocery stores casually display
underwater existential dread?

One lobster blinked with ancient wisdom
while I bought toaster waffles nearby.

And honestly? I avoid eye contact
with the seafood section now.

One waved a claw dramatically
like demanding legal representation.

    Shards of the Heart

    David White’s Pieces and Kiana Jimenez’s Blind Love merge into a meditation on heartbreak, resilience, and the desire to mend what has been broken. Vibrant fragments echo the poem’s shards of love, showing that even in pain, there remains the drive to rebuild, reassemble, and create new wholeness.

  • The Birth of Creation

    David White’s Blank Canvas and Kiana Jimenez’s poem Blank Canvas explore emptiness not as loss, but as potential. What seems void is alive with possibility, waiting for creation to emerge.
