dear internet,

muddling through somehow / chipped nailpolish / too-sweet wine smell of christmas markets / rain shining on cobblestones / toddlers in ski suits / meals with friends / the same three sweaters / coke zero / train window views / mist resting on frozen lake / licorice lozenges / telling the same story over and over again / creating in-jokes / doing your work / not doing work but thinking about it in the background / not doing your work or thinking about it / the seagulls walking carefully across the ice, feet poised like dogs in socks / mr napkin head / whistling along to o holy night / reheated chinese food / repeat the sounding joy

love,
t
