unwanted brownish banana
I save for
my smoothie

brown banana
I save it for
my smoothie

unwanted brown bananas
saving them for
my breakfast smoothies

over ripe banana
saved for
my smoothie


night time
shower
me time

night shower
I reset,
from the day

nighttime shower
thoughts run
like the water


remaining in
the downward dog
for a moment of peace

a moment of peace
I remain
in downward dog

downward dog
my spine cracks
from top to bottom



running through the streets
a human lurks in the darkness
haunting everybody

running in the street
a figure lurks
in the dark

running through the streets
shadow lurking
haunting everybody



running on the treadmill
helps me feel
less sad

running on the treadmill
the weight lifts
off my shoulders

my treadmill
brings sadness
to my body

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



yellow bicycle
emerging from
the wildflowers

her yellow bicycle
emerges from
a field of wildflowers

wildflowers,
the bicycle
fades together



staring into the void
endless galaxies
within the fridge

staring into the void
galaxies hidden
in the fridge



cold weather
makes it hard
to get out of bed

cold weather
head under the covers
safe for the winter


I wore
the freshman 15
like a badge

Freshman 15
corrupted
my college life



a clean room
does wonders
to feel free

a clean room
feeling free
does wonders
