ekphrasis challenge - Walt Finch


Banksy. Dreams Cancelled. 2010. Boston, MA. Stencil Revolution. May 2010. Web. 1 Sept. 2015.

The school bell rings,
I go home,
I brag to my mom about my grades while she is at the sink,
She says I can do whatever I want as long as I'm willing to work instead of roam.

I wanted to be a astronaut,
Then a master chef.
It seemed all my hard work was for naught,
As I gasped for my next breath.

I have done everything right,
Yet my home is 100 square feet,
I look a sore sight,
And my body is incredibly beat.

There is nothing more I can do,
those dreams my mom said I could realize,
are now all through,
I just hope there is a next life with some kind of prize.
