Alone
Like ten pairs of socks all folded up.
Or the blanket with a smiling sense.
I have enough waiting rooms to go around.
Here in my home.
Someone is hiding, like a small chunk of metal.
Sandpaper destroys imperfections with a whoosh.
Someone is waiting.
So,
Here it is:
When I have feelings, the circles come back.
Circling, spinning, whimsical.
They are harmful.
Everything is very calculated in my mind.
And then I repeat it.
Someone is.
Like an avocado slice.
So perfect.
Just like the beaches that I imagined.
Slices all folded up.
Here in my home.
I have a toaster oven, rug, and me.
We all have feelings circling back.
So does the light switch.
And all the people hiding in places I don’t know exist.
Everyone who is watching.
I know you want to watch me and my feelings.
Good luck because:
A new one is coming soon.
