everything else: now and then

dear internet,

when i’m humming in the shower, when i’m watching the geese. when i hold my phone up to my ear on my walk home so i can listen to my friends tell me about their days, when i’m emptying the dishwasher while everyone comments on my heat-resistant hands, when i’m deciding which ice cream flavour. when it starts to snow i fling open a window, i wrap a scarf around my head, i lean out to catch melting water in my hands. other things are happening too, i’m on the phone with my mother while she says futilely don’t worry don’t worry, i’m dropping the garlic press into the sauce, i’m knitting to stop myself from looking at my phone but either way my fingers cramp. i buy a four-euro drugstore perfume and can’t stop smelling my wrists. i eat yogurt leaning against the kitchen counter. i learn the names of all the countries in the world. i write to you.

love,
t
