where do we go

for five years i waited
to share what i felt
and as i waited it weighed
so heavy in me
but when i said it you heard
and you shared, too
you thanked me for saying
what you couldn’t say
but where do we go
from here?

weird

a time computing problem

sunbeams

sunbeams drench the earth
scattered by the shadows cast wistfully by leaves
shades of green intertwine peacefully on the ground
i like looking at you, grass

weird

on online

we are on
on online
projections of ourselves
on online
yet we hide
on online
sometimes, to protect ourselves
on online
should we reveal what we feel
on online
then we must retreat
off online

weird

you must listen to

do the thing

you will spend much time wondering
whether you should do the thing
but that time could be spent more wisely
by actually doing the thing

when age comes

do not fear age, for it will be better
your world is small, child, but it will be bigger
you will love and accept your body
(for it will do magical things)
you will know you are good at what you do
(and people will respect you)
you will find your tribe
(and revel in it)
you will find yourself
when age comes

rain

you were so yellow, so crispy
translucence befell you in the harsh sunlight
a shell of your former self, a ghost
and then the rain came, in buckets
and you prospered, now nourished
green again, so green
grass

vacation

i am off the grid
free from the shackles of manufactured problems
i left it all behind
i can see the ocean
i can see the sky
i can hear the birds
i can smell the trees
i am becoming the clean breeze
my osmosis
is nourishing
i am photosynthesising
i am free

a woman stares in delight into her internet computer machine

and she is writing a newsletter
she has collected four links she would like to share with you
her hair is slightly dishevelled, but it doesn’t matter
she is getting it cut today
she wonders if she will get her usual, or ask for something a little different
only time will tell
she intersperses her creative composition with sips of a half-drunk home-made almond milk cappuccino
she is filled with a sense of excitement at her upcoming vacation
it is raining outside, but it doesn’t matter
she is calm today, she feels accomplished
and she can’t wait to press send

weird

let go of your attachment to breathable air

too much water

i am sorry i drowned you
in your sorrows
and watched helplessly as you turned pale green
then yellow
then brown
i willed you to recover
but we wanted different things
into the green bin with you
aloe, goodbye

extraction

and so with great force the tooth was ripped from the gum
in which it had slept for two decades
and while in its sleep it did cast great terrors upon her mouth
she is wounded, but she is victorious
(i swear i heard my skull crack more than once)

find your tribe

we are all tribal beings, really
deep down
and when you find your tribe
(because you will find your tribe)
hold onto them
nurture them
love them
lift them up
laugh with them
build cool stuff with them
for they will enjoy doing the same

weird

i have no idea what this is but i like it

friends

friends are like plants
give them light
water
dust them off
a little spray
and they will give you life
and take away the bad things
take care of them

i am not an outsider

there are people that tolerate me
there are people that like me
there are people that actively seek out my company
there are people that cheer for me
there are people that love me
there are people that would be sad without me
