Push the button,
Pull the lever,
Never have we been so clever.
Push our luck,
Pull the trigger,
Getting closer to something bigger.
Push the envelope,
Pull the string,
Such a great fortune it could bring.
Push the brakes,
Pull the plug,
No climbing out of this hole we've dug.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.

Pearl
1980 something. we all hung out at Pearl and you and i were nothing special, or so i thought. i mean we all danced, drenched in our own sweat, our own saline solution of fear, too many beers, shots, laughter, tears, fucks in the bathroom and i don't know when we began to be afraid. do you?

Oh, I like this a lot! Love the Push and Pull line repetitions with the variations! It really built the tension of risk so nicely and the last line was such a punchy close! Great work, Alyssa!
Brilliantly done!
I love the flow of this one and the 'push' 'pull' lines give it cyclical feel!
So creative ❤️
Nice work
