Every night one of our neighbors drowns in a crack on the sidewalk. Every night we call it hope to climb our way to the moon--just to panic when we can't find an airplane or meteor to catch a ride home on. We spend days treading water with someone we love, hoping that a wave doesn't rise and block our view of the sun. These 30+ illustrated poems exemplify that floating feeling of being between sobriety, society, and stillness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAustin Davis is a poet and activist from Phoenix, AZ, who lives with OCD.
