"I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be. So, I guess I'm on my way home."


That's the chapstick I wore
when I was more concerned about sidewalk chalk
than verb tenses and that glaring disappointment of

Do you ever get deja vu?
Sure.
Just the other day, walking through E-hall
Ania and Mehki holding hands.
Suddenly my esophagus is swollen,
suddenly my alveoli are bearing the weight of

harried (adj):

weeping from the sky,
narrow hallways with too many people.
zenith (n):

Someone hold my hand and promise
that life is still getting better,
still good,
not worse.
