You want to go deep But sneer talking about the weather You want the real stuff But don’t hear the question “Am I safe here?” You’re missing it It might rain later Life falls from heaven! And it’s so hot my Tomatoes are lost Losing track of time And I might lose myself I say, “eh, I’m fine, but things are hard, you know?” And you rush past it To the next big thing I say, “hangin’ in there. And you?” Seen on Thursday, 6:35 p.m. Small steps forward, Big steps back Marbles in the jar and out With an ache of vulnerability A meme, a text, a question To break the ice Attempts to connect Passing by unnoticed Hearts on the line Desperate to be seen While you’re waiting for Real life to start What if weather is a wonder? What if trust is built In small conversations In gentleness and interest In reciprocation and relief and “me too” Where more is said than words.
