Insignificance
     Silence
      Seeds

You get second-hand
updates
Of the way their hair looks
Piecing together glimpses
Of a parallel life
You hope next time
Some mutual friend shares their face
On a random Sunday
On that photos app
they look happier.

I want a kind person to see me struggling
Not by me showing them
But by simply observing
And care
And ask if they can help
Sometimes they can
And sometimes they can't
But that itself
Is enough for my heart

Sede
I have my father
And I am getting
Dehydrated
So hurry up
Father
And bring me
4 cans of
Diet coke
I am not planning
To die today
Father
Because I am still
Young  father

I am sitting in traffic
And I’m wondering
Is it immature to wish
There is some universe where I got
One over on you
Where I called the lawyers first
Where I didn’t lose my job
One where Gabriel and I
Move to Colorado
And I don’t have to answer to you

You are the forest
Yet unexplored
Full of life
And dappled light
I can’t wait to hear
Your crickets at night
