Leo Downs aka LAD

He is the very epitome of emotional.

( see the 1st Urban Dictionary Definition )

When you are with him, there is never any Peace and Quiet

And honestly you don’t mind

You appreciate the noise

But you once mistook it for Fireworks

He was not a fan of such accusations

If this had been years before, stupid words would be met with venomous force

But he has blossomed into a Black Rose

He isn’t like that anymore but you will still hold your tongue

You promised yourself that you wouldn’t be in a position like that again

But he is a friend and you’ve always said you would die for your friends

You haven’t spoken to him in a while

You are relearning all of the forgotten facts

He isn’t Scared of the Dark.

He loves Peanut Butter M&M’s

He often forgets to take his B-12

And he moderately dislikes The Scent of Freshly-Cut Grass

He has opinions about all the Things No One Wants To Talk About

You agree with many and disagree with some

He will tell you things you do not want to hear but you need to listen to

You will smile and change the subject

Maybe one day you will remember to thank him

Charlotte Rose Drane aka Charles

She is spunky.

(see 1st Urban Dictionary definition)

You find yourself sitting at a new table at lunch.

It is inhabited by Charles and Katie and an assortment of others

But Charles has caught your eye

Her StrungOutThoughts have weaved their way into your head

Now you listen intently

You don’t want to miss what she says

Her voice reminds you of an Artist’s Freedom

She is delicate but demands your respect

You will always listen when she speaks-

Even when the room is full of noise

You will share Unhelpful Thoughts

But you will not speak to her

Because how can you tell her that you relate when she is starring you in the eyes

So instead you will look her in her eyes as she talks

She knows you are listening

That is all that is needed

So you stare and you listen and you respect

And she will stare and talk and command respect.

Katherine Dian Westbrook aka Katie

She is the definition of grunge.

(See the 1st Urban Dictionary Definition)

You see her more down the street at the thrift store than in class.

She looks through the clothes with leopard spots to polka dots

You say that polka dots remind you of kindergarten

She says she looking for escape back to simpler times

You laugh but the look in her eyes say this is not a joke

You look away

She used to talk about the world as if everything thing was a possiblity

Said that everything was a result of When Parallel Lines Intertwine

You took her out across the darkness where the bomberjets fly

She told you along the way her Theory  on God

She said to you the cobra spit over apocalyptic cult killer cauldron smoke

You will sit dazed and confused

Her world makes no sense

She tells you she worships A Really Big Duck

You will nod and agree

She scolds you for biting back your words

She hates this type of Apartment Mentality

So you nod and agree again and she is angry but also confused

You laugh

She laughs

She tells you that  the world is going to crash

You say that we are all just Bleeding Hearts And Long Winged Birds

She will nod and agree

Who cares if they burn?

Not you and certainly not her

Amaria Byonce Sumler aka Mar

She is the very definition of woke

(see the 4th Urban Dictionary Definition)

Often you find yourself wondering the halls with her

She will tell you to refuse the cruise your parents are paying for

You’ll fall right off the side of the earth without your smoky quartz crystal

And one isn’t going to save the whole ship

Instead go to Nevada, dance with the men in uniforms as they arrest you

She’ll tell you how to get away from them and find the ship

She’ll give you her address; she wants to see the stars.

She is tired of Looking Up at them

Tell her that her Attention would be better placed on the Illuminati

She will say that she spends too much time on the dark web

You will go to visit her at home and she will answer, “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here” before letting you in.

You will fix her computer

She will ask  for your baseball bat when Cortana talks.

You’ll give it to her because you are dense

Now it is you, Mar, and a battered computer

You will ask her why

She will say one less AI to take over the world

When you tell her you want to fly to Denver she will refuse

She doesn’t deal with the Illuminati, you’ve already established this.

Mar gives you a rose quartz to heal your sole

You’ve experienced too much negativity today

Janey Laine Aron aka J-Dogge

She is the definition of assertive.

(see the 2nd Urban Dictionary Definition)

You will Run along the path with her

Your breathing ragged

You will watch the puff of warm leave her lips as she runs

She is faster than you and you do not mind

You fall behind and watch as she goes faster now than before.

You will remember when you sat next to her in the classroom

Her opinions loud and confident

She is not wrong

She will never be wrong

She will tell you her secret

Don’t Tell, but Show.

You try it out and the effects are strange

You used to be shy and wrong

Now she is right and so are you

But it is hard for both to be right so you give in

You are shy and wrong again

J-Dogge is right

Now there are Ripples in your life

You see the effects taking hold

She once said 2+2= Fish

So now you answer all your math questions with Fish

You are Spinning as she runs circles around you

She tells you to look deeper into the mist

And you tell her All I See (And All I Don’t)

She tells you there are werewolves

And she is always right so you agree

But yesterday you saw a glint of confusion and for a moment she was wrong

Madison Claire Reams aka Claire-Bear

She is the definition of sweet.

(see the 7th urban dictionary definition)

When she walks by appreciate the difference in her from the other girls in your class.

Remember how cotton candy seemed salty that day at the fair and then remember that she is the sweetest thing you have ever known.

She will tell you that she loves the ocean and swimming is her passion.

So pack the car and take a trip south or west or north or east- where ever you can to find Something Real for her.

Take her to the beach and watch as she stands with her toes caressed by the ocean.

Tell her she makes you want to write and talk about Love and Stuff

Tell her – your Claire Bear – How you couldn’t image a life in which she was not there.

Zoe Mckenzie Conner aka Z-MOney

She is the very definition of angst.

(And If you don’t know what angst is I suggest using the 4th  Urban Dictionary Definition . )

Look into her eyes and watch as angsty tears fall like snow on your drive way

Realize it is Summer and her tears aren’t snow but ash from the volcano down the street.

Realize you are not in your driveway but in the home of Z-MOney where things aren’t always what they seem

But then realize you forgot to Milk The Duck. 

Z-MOney  aka Zoe Conner likes all the Lost Dimensions Of You to be flayed and set out to dry.

But be sure you don’t recite Pretty Poetry  in her presence what do you think this is- Thailand?

Sometimes things might get Out Of Hand but don’t forget this is her world she calls the shots.

When she calls, give her Half-Eaten Apples but only ones that are purple.

Tear off the petals to lilies and give her the stem, she’ll tell you them make a nice stew

When she offers you bismuth subsalicylate, take it with pears and mayo.

Don’t upset the sleeping bear, it’ll all go down-hill if you do.

Z-MOney takes no hostages; you will be crushed by the avalanche that follows.

Just remember- Z-MOney aka Zoe Mckenzie Conner likes all her ducks milked and her ends infinite.
