Last Step

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

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.

100 Haikus

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.

Daily Haiku

August 13, 2026 The day passed again Everyone came to dinner Kitchen is a mess August 12, 2026 Red lights in my room Starring up at the ceiling What even happened August 11, 2026 Staring at my screen Yet another day goes by Need to change my life August 10, 2026 Posting from my phone The day passes by quickly Drinks with someone new August 9, 2026 New hole in my shoe
