152
I’m paying attention to the faces in vases
And in lamp shades and in speaker cages
I’m noticing tiny smiles in the cracked paint
On walls
I’m staring and I’m becoming the rhythm of the ceiling fan
I have two avocados and a mango
Some water and cheap wine in my fridge
48 dollars in Chase
I’m poor and I’m smiling anyway
I get lost a lot
Walking out of my house requires a compass
But I’m finding myself in roundabouts and u turns
Life is sweet
