The Sextant - Spring 2022

Step, Step, Step, Step I could hear it above me Slamming each foot like a basketball being dribbled I was petri ed thinking it was gonna catch me Step, Step, Step, Step It was getting closer and closer Chills going through my body like electricity I could hear it getting in my proximity Step, Step, Step, Step Getting really near now If I survive I won’t do anything wrong, I vow It is too late my time is now Step, Step, Step, Step

The Ball Will Marra '23 Checkered ball jumps up. Scraped the sky, cut the stretched blue Nestled in the ground again

Some Regrets Cameron Connell '23 I will. I will. I will. I never did. Not now. I’ll do it later. I don’t feel like it right now. I never felt like it. I’m too nervous. I’m scared. What if it goes badly? Guess I’ll never know. What if he gets mad? What if he takes it the wrong way? What if he doesn’t want to be friends anymore? We’re not friends anymore anyway. I should have been honest. What if she thinks I’m weird? What if she thinks I’m annoying? What if she says no? She never got a chance to say anything. I never asked her. I wonder how well I’d do? I wonder if I’d have a chance at winning? How happy would I be if I won? I never tried. I’ll walk him later. Can you walk him? I’ll do it in a bit. I should’ve walked him more. He’s gone now. Mom, stop it. Dad, it’s not funny. I hate both of you, can’t you just leave me alone. I’d rather be annoyed with them than not have them anymore. No, you guys can go without me. I’ll catch you later. No, sorry, I don’t feel up to it tonight. I should’ve gone with them while I still could. I should learn guitar. But it takes too much time. I’ll learn when I have more time. I never had more time. I wish I’d learned it back then. No we really shouldn’t. What if we get caught. I don’t wanna get in trouble. I should’ve just done it. I should have been carefree while I still had the chance. I should have lived life.
