spent winter thinking there must
be an explanation for everything.
began to watch the clock
all day.
my new boss mentioned
she thought I was the reason the
power kept going out.
began to watch my
friend’s songs change on
Spotify all day.
took two hour walks in the snow.
began to watch birds outside
my window all day.
nothing will stop me.
I did not eat often.
coffee fueled me.
there was no need for water.

invincible.
