Society detests innocence
Often shaking hands with ignorance
Exchanging phone numbers with bliss.
We hate it cause we’re jealous.

Sunday mourning
soaks my bedroom in its light
I’ve been awake for a while
searching the ceiling for a reason
to get out of bed
There’s a whole world out there
I tell myself
Let’s explore it
Not today
I reply
It’s too hot

J.M. Romig is a would-be traveling storyteller who writes poetry, short prose, plays, and spoken word art.

J.M. Romig was born and raised in Ashtabula, Ohio. If you have heard of it, chances are you've heard bad things. It's a town with an identity crisis. It is technically large enough to be a city, but there is a lingering sense of "small town" mentality. The only thing binding everyone together in Ashtabula is everyone's disdain for the place.
