They steam clean and call it the dream team when we all know it's a fuckin' nightmare.

The carpet
The morning air was thick: stifling and hot; The few fair-weather flies floated sick, atop. And the tetrarch-tall trees - gigantic gums - gave Jagged shade, tiger stripes on my skin they made, natural ink! I, became one-with-nature, romantic?

Tiger Striped Skin
You don’t scare me any more! You're just hot air, Good only for (hot air) balloons. So, rather than running away and hiding, I will not jump into your basket, and Ride your highs. I will see the mountains, and Leave you behind. Because that is what your furry does, Drive people away so they do not see, You on the inside. A small, scared little child. So no more! Come outside. Come ride up high Away from that anger you Try so hard to hide. From this new vantage point, See, open your eyes, and Let heaven and earth collide.

You don't scare me
My Astrologer, *** and Love’ horoscope, for Halloween, is grim and on-trend for me. (Libra) “Get ready to take some chill-time - give yourself the space to recover. People pleasing is out, boundaries are in!” Yeah, I’m like Texas, I have unsecure boundaries. Sure, I KNOW horoscopes are horoscopes but while other signs get unicorns & puppies: Aries: “Use your deepest desires to please yourself, step into your power.” Gemini: “Your curious and bubbly nature shines, shoot your shot for that special someone!” Cancer: “Be at home in your feels, your needs & emotional expressions are valued, go deeper.” I’m getting **** it up buttercup,” thanks universe - what did I ever do to you? We’ve been scanning the teen magazine fall looks, “We’re living in a bold era, a time of expression!” They declare, which means dramatic-metallic eyeliners, goth grunge, bold reds and Beyoncé’s “Renaissance silvers.” Luckily, Yale’s pretty low fashion environment, because seasonal changes are a lot to keep up with. I love Autumn, with its colorful leaves, pumpkin lattes and colder nights, but coming from the south (in ‘21), I had no idea how badly heated air could dry out my skin and hair (freshie year, my thumb literally started to crack, like a plastic Barbie). In the spirit of fall fashion and maintenance, my entire crew made an Ulta store run this morning for hair masks, detox tonics and skin moisturizers - we’re ready, bring on the cold. The best smelling places on earth are Ulta and Yankee Candle stores. In my religion, heaven smells like Starbucks in the morning, Chick-fil-A around noon and Ulta stores as the sun goes down and things turn dreamy and romantic.
