i sat
drawing swirls
in condensation on the window
a younger me did the same thing once
and got yelled at
because
apparently the marks you
make on windows
don't go away
then someone has
to wash those panes,
and
heaven forbid
their windex leaves streaks
heaven forbid
their towel
sheds
heaven forbid
that clear glass
is marred
and
heaven forbid
someone put
swirls on the world
so something, anything
was a little
more
beautiful.
