After careful consideration on the set rules for today's edition of MONDAY PICTURE THEORY, an alteration was made, especially on the SECOND RULE which until now read's thus:

'All poems must be 15 lines each'.

However, prior to necessary amendments made, the second rule now read's thus:

'All poems must be less than 15 lines each'.

And in my dream was a bull skull,

Of which was to be handed to me,

She asked that I take it by the horn,

But I was scared to take this dark path.

I realized that she was a sister to death,

And my life was the price to pay,

But if I grab this horn and lose my life,

What then is the use of this cross over...

From twenty twenty

To twenty twenty one.

If I saw a bull's skull in my dream

I would proooobably be terrified 

I would ask myself why. Why. Why. 

Why was I lingering in the forest 

in the first place? Why is it all so 

Cold all of a sudden and I can't 

feel the weight of my legs. Why

can't I find my voice like the lost

spoons in the kitchen. Why do I have 

to be the pin that passes through 

the bull's eye from 2020 to 2021

Ocheche Johnson

First, I would forget it had two horns

Run swiftly to embrace the next being

Feel the weight of what is in front

Then, grab it by its horns

Stare at it a little bit more

And watch a skull crack from fear

I would be the skull to make it scurry.

I lied.

I would wake up- thinking of how many twenties one has lived.

Cross boldly to a new dawn

Do more, good deeds 

Like eating chickens, chips and peas

Patting my shoulders to embrace the new twenty-one.
