The sky feels wasted on the quiet, like clouds should answer when I stare. Birds keep flying like they’re equal— I’d rewrite the rules of air. They say rivers choose the easiest path, that flowing soft is something wise. I think water’s just undisciplined— strength is forcing straight lines. Yeah, it sounds a little twisted, but nature’s just a draft to me— if nothing’s trying to dominate, then what’s it even trying to be?
