I take the long way home
novelty keeps wearing off
I am so tired
strange, I thought I was always conserving energy by
being asleep twenty-four-seven
days keep colliding into one another
I get lost
and fall and fall
mostly it is overwhelming and then
sometimes it is underwhelming
every minute (or every second?)
very “what is going on”
another “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” crisis
carpe diem
seize the day
come on, seize the day
my aunt told me bad children have awful curly hair
I would know
someone call the senior pastor
good riddance gracia
gracia just be constant
can you stay in one form
just one form at a time
people shake their heads
I am looking but not seeing
hearing but not listening
all the time, I say all the time
my mind flickers then fails
I fail to draw the line
I don’t have a ruler so the line wavers
the line doesn’t deserve to be drawn
here just take the pencil
I’ll hold on to the eraser
just to erase every ****** mistake
and maybe myself
we have no ruler
with shaky hands
draw the crooked line
it looks like the road I often travel
