it’s a Thursday
I watch a black squirrel outside my window
scrambling to hide acorns
paranoid, submerging them different places in the grass
how will they be found by her, and not another?
I’d be tense too
instead I’m nursing my ankle
being the main character of my movie
sometimes I go on a bus ride for fun
get off at the grocery store, walk down the aisles
make a Pinterest account just to feel a certain way
and survive off pizza I don’t have to move much to make.
