Sappy

I’ve collected orbs of back pain and put
Them on the shelf next to the baby crying on the monitor

I’ve sifted through the follicles of carpet
for choking hazard treasure

I’ve watched growth become time and time become change
While constantly waiting for something bad to happen

You put the bottle down and share a conversation
With an inanimate object

You make sure everything is clean

You get tired

You feel

Happy
