here we are
April 25, 2022
here we are;
we fall and falter and grow and grind;
we hover, we trickle down like honey;
we ignore and ignite and jolt unpleasant;
we kill and we love and we linger and listen;
we move, we mask, we are never not overthinking ourselves;
we promise and plead and quiver, quietly questioning
reality, is this reality, we’re stupid for singing and stupid for
thinking we could ever tumble out, but underneath it all,
here we are;
we are here.
