Days at the Arcade Playing Far from the Tree

A cohesive collection of poems that blend the unanswered questions of how things such as finding love, addiction to vice and need of success plagues our everyday lives. The "Arcade" represents ones mindstate while striving for the things we lust for. The "Tree" represents a dream, standard or goal. These poems explore the actions and habits that keeps us in the same place for "days"(far from the tree). Deeply influenced by paintings, these poems were written in a way that puts you in the hallways of the gallery. In a gallery where everything hanging on the wall serves as a mirror.
