30 poems in 30 days: Day 9

Breakfast; Milano Cookies, Stale Water, Gum

Same, delicate and fragile, it can be difficult to navigate these
dovetailed emotions. Sit staggered on the living room carpet, picking
promises out from between the black and yellow fibers.
Sweet as it is to find something new there, cabinet doors
burst open with the joy and strength of infancy.
Sweat stained, we must make our most important decisions,
what we will gift wrap to our future selves? What to tune the
radio to, to keep the house company at night.
