early morning exchange from last night’s parade
a fragile time to offer us fresh donuts and coffee
a friend worries about dramatic weight loss
“as long as i don’t get wrinkles,” i say.
you shop around on your hall pass
and i do my best to be normal
when i hear my absurd reflections of this story
i’m grateful for patient kin with planetary tethers.
*pause: send thank you note*
neptune is in aquarius within my seventh house
not to get spacey but this line stuck around
just as you hold me so close at arms length,
knowing you can’t just walk around kissing people.
either puffery or humility gets the best of me
in an effort to tide mantras
with the utmost of gravitas
telling everyone i’ll edge out thoughts on the matter.
