“I am not a perfect computer” by Trevor Witt

The paralysis caused by fear
Slows my pen and hinders my pick,
Short-circuiting my creative outlets.
But I know that I have power,
And I choose to rewire my worries,
Unperturbed by my human insecurities.

I have faults,
I make mistakes.
There are bugs in my system,
And I often need updates.

I am not a perfect computer.

“A damn good cappuccino” by Trevor Witt

A damn good cappuccino
Can change your entire day,
Shifting your perspective,
Propelling you forward,
Waking you up to possibilities.
Coffee, an algorithm for rewiring the brain,
A method of madness,
A science experiment gone right,
Fertile grounds for a new beginning.

“Imagine (Looking out for one another)” by Trevor Witt

Imagine housing for everyone.
Imagine having enough to eat.
Imagine having a good night’s sleep.
Imagine not being harassed by police.
Imagine having a place called home,
A safe space,
With neighbors who care,
Sharing a meal,
Relaying job opportunities,
Looking out for one another.

How beautiful it would be!
