alkaline smell of pantene pro-v whenever i shift in bed, locks of hair almost but not quite dry hanging cold and moist against my arm. i showered at 1 AM when everyone else was asleep, trying my best to catch all the drops against my back, but i knew i woke someone up, and that someone would tell everyone else and then i am if not already the strange girl who happened to be related to them, that showers at ungodly, impractical hours, and whose days are half out of sync with the rest, a family member that keeps to herself and her books and could be spotted sitting on the side of the road like an accident waiting to happen, except she just wants to enjoy the sunlight passing through summer leaves and admire the way the road curves away from her from a perspective closer to the ground.
lazy, easy days when gravity feels stronger than usual. but there's nowhere else i need to be.
