Spend a day observing people. Most of the time, it'll be boring. It's probably not nice to say, but most people, trying to mimic a set of socially-acceptable personality traits, aren't worth the time. Too busy fitting-in to be interesting. Too busy looking for the camera to be honest. But if we're lucky, we'll catch a glimpse of something we're not meant to see. Pilots leave an apartment window open while waiting for flight attendants to arrive. We see their desperation. A man in a breezeway doesn't think anyone is upstairs when he tries to get his dealer off his back, all while his little girl plays. The fratboy next door doesn't know someone can hear everything - and wants him anyway. A whole political party shows its true colors. These poems are dedicated to who we are when we're on our own time - to the strange, laughable, heartbreaking, dangerous ways we do ourselves.
