those were good ideas

but they weren't diamonds and pearls

how am i not myself?

repeat.

summer in ohio

glitter chalk, kiddy pools, ice cream bubbles, creeks, bug bites, crop tops, skin
dust bunnies the size of miniature foxes
pandas and hamsters

finding myself in familiar places

with gravel lodged into my heels and mud caked on my stomache

ask me anything

(i've got nothing to say.)

listening to otis redding at home during christmas

i am deconstructing my room and living through first semester again.
conversely, i am nostalgic for things that have not happened yet.

they're called fireworks, not firefun.
