in the park
sat a boy
atop a hill
watching Phoenix clouds
and declaring expectantly
that he was waiting
for the first
drop of rain
to trip and fall,
aren’t we all.

Javen Bear is 24 years old and lives with his beautiful wife Aleisha in Phoenix, Arizona. He recently entered a mental health counseling graduate program at Grand Canyon University where he also works as an admissions counselor. Javen’s super-power, if he had one, would be the ability to press pause on the world and catch up on reading. He enjoys fly-fishing, going to the theatre, and always uses Oxford commas.
