| Jaina Cipriano UntitledLight bulbs flicker
 Swing from wires
 
 Tell me, will they ever tire?
 
 
 Far too bright,
 
 I'll close my eyes.
 
 Keep buying into my own lies.
 
 
 A brush of gray
 
 a bucket of black.
 
 I'll paint it away just to get off track.
 
 
 You smile,
 
 I grimace
 
 brace for the finish.
