Aponatime

The Aponatime is a most curious animal
It is a time shifter, a mover of the mind
Once mentioned life begins to twist
You can return to childhood
Familiar voices echo in your head
Stories begin, fables unfold
And it only has to be spoken once
Just once 
Once Aponatime

See, I told you

Accident

She was an accident 
An accidental conception 
An accidental admission 
A severed relationship 
A dropped bottle
Don't cry
Distracted in memories
A glance to phone
An accidental twitch to the wheel
An accidental lapse
She was an accident
