Mix a tube of paint with coffee,
Grind a few colored pencils,
Add some sugar,
Coat everything with red pepper,
Add a few shards of glass ,
Soak in wine.
Put it all in the oven,
Cut your fingers but only slightly,
Burn your lips but only a little,
Inhale the worry of a fading flower,
Smell wet dirt,
Get blinded by staring at the sun,
Feel the wetness of rain.
Embrace the prickling of pine needles
And the itch of poison ivy.
This is how I feel.
Today and every day.
