walking down the street
dodging people dodging trash
the sun in my eyes
can’t hear anything but noise
but if this was my last step
i would take it slowly
feeling each part of the ground
letting the sun touch my face
seeing the eyes of everyone going past
if this was my last step
i would take it slowly
I want a bigger apartment, one with a desk. I want straight teeth. I want to get up earlier. I want to text my friends more. I want to not forget my french. I want to get to the gym. I want the sun to set later. I want to never go on hinge again. I want 1,000 matches. I want 1 match. I want 0 matches. I want to be younger.
This summer I wrote a haiku every day and put it on my personal website. The rules were simple: each poem had to have the classic 5-7-5 structure, and I had to write only one per day. There were no other rules. Haikus have a long and beautiful tradition in Japanese literary history, I decided to ignore it, because the goal was simply to write one a day about my life.
