Sneak

I heard you twice 
I liked that you seemed okay with me being quiet
Last I checked, my fingers and yours seemed perfectly intertwined
This morning, the sky feels renewed and there's a draft that plunges into the bare feet of these unclean windows
The birds have colluded and my tranquil tantrum feels wrongfully disbursed and willfully discarded 
I'm not ready yet
And the mynahs could care less
The orchestra I didn't ask for, ruining my own wicked orchestration 
So I try to forego my stubbornness
Attempt to seek solace in what I can't control 

Mirror Mirror

Very self aware this morning
Of being watched while I watch my reflection
Accepting of these unruly flyaways
They're uniquely mine
Not at all happy about that very angry inflated boil near my piercing
Beginning to make peace with that wrinkle forming from smiling too much 
Exquisitely distracted by tender eyelid folds because they remind me of another pair I adore
Conscious all of a sudden as I just noticed that awful post makeup morning after eye gunk
Pleased at how well matched my earphones and kaftan is

ChAI

I used AI to make my chai this morning.   Why? Because I wanted to see if I’d still get that dopamine hit from something I didn’t even make....
