“a passing sadness that never passes”


i cried while eating breakfast today

not fully; merely a few tears

thankfully none fell into

the poor man’s version of shakshouka

i had attempted to make

...it was already too salty


i don’t know if it was the tomatoes

or the longing for lingering

that tasted so acidic;

nevertheless it was unappetizing


i am now waiting impatiently

for the post meal edible

to hopefully lift my spirits

a pineapple-flavored emotional digestif


gymnopédie no. 1

plays on loop in my mind

satie providing the soundtrack

for a film i can’t (won’t?) stop seeing


the sun is shining

and it is beautiful

and she is beautiful

and i have to mow the lawn soon


the smell of freshly cut grass

that i far too often confuse with petrichor

always seems to soothe me

i can only hope it remains true today

i can only hope to come back greener
