random slice of life, just for fun
I was waiting for my hair to dry.
There was a book
and a blanket
and my upstairs boombox,
churning out indie ballads.
I'd forgotten to turn it off.
And I smelled like self tanner-
beachy and fun and full of promise.
No one would see it before it wore off;
I'd put it on for the smell.
I was hungry and I wanted a bowl of cereal,
something colorful
with too much sugar
like fruity pebbles.
I walked to the kitchen,
knowing I don't buy those kinds of cereals.
I poured some rice krispies.
It's winter;
things are alright.
