there is no problem or issue and there is no answer and there is no needing to be more and life is one big bit and orbs are everywhere

floating shelf crashed off my bedroom wall in the middle of the night with all my books and plants on it.

good to remember that even if there are holes in my wall and piles of dirt on my pillows there are very few things that are actually catastrophes and emergencies and i can laugh and cry and then vacuum and pick up tylenol and it'll be monday and perfect weather again.

salt tracks

go pick up a rock and carry it around the city and then bring it to my room, go to whole foods and they’re out of white beans and rest

pearl in my fingertips
fur strip on pavement 

then again

my family plays the same card game every time we're in a restaurant or on a trip. my dad played it with his brothers growing up but when you google it nothing comes up so it's a word-of-mouth kind of game i guess. 

i taught it to my girl friends last week and now we've been playing it in my apartment and on the train and at brunch and at picnic tables and at bars and last night we taught it to some random irish woman who invited herself to sit down at our table.

what good is it to know things if you don't put it into practice

purple sunset, loon call

drizzle on the lake

we’ve become siblings
decide who i am
learn to float again

the smell of bubblegum is following me around

seeking an object of fascination.

something to tattoo on the back of my calf, to feel against every inner knuckle of every finger, a barre chord and a neck in my palm, to crawl on top of me,

same as i’ve always been.

you only live once.

lowkey kind of true.
