Trip poetry stuff

A couple of poetry bits taken from my Summer 2013 Trip.

Virginia Beach - (This one was kinda bad)

Footsteps on the beach,
Lights flicker,
looking behind the cardboard cutouts
it's barely held up by the endless lights
which line the murmuring boardwalk.
How does one be real, when immersed
In the capitalist frivolities of our
modern age?  will all this crumble
and be washed away by the waves
of time, like all things we build in the sand?

Knots (somewhat better)

Our hearts tie us into knots
How can we breathe when
feeling has its hands on our throats
and the air is so thick that all
we can do is scream into the night
and wait for it to let go?

Palmetto (A haiku?)

Together for now
Three roses of Palmetto
Will they ever grow?
