Jump By April Ridge


The further into this century we move,

the more it seems to be

that many people are attempting 

to gain entry into 

the Guinness Book of World Records

by overachievement,

overworking themselves 

into an anxious frenzy.


A weird flex of muscles:

claiming to get the most done with the 

smallest amount of rest,

the tiniest winks of sleep.


The pep talks 

we give ourselves 

each day

as we rev our engines 

yet slyly ask

‘Anybody got any jumper cables?’





April Ridge lives in the expansive hopes and dreams of melancholy rescue cats. She thrives on strong coffee, and lives for danger. In the midst of Indiana pines, she follows her heart out to the horizon of reality and hopes never to return to the misty sands of the nightmarish 9 to 5. April aspires to beat seasonal depression with a well-carved stick, and to one day experience the splendor of the Cucumber Magnolia tree in bloom.
