today i vacuumed half the living room
ate cereal without checking the expiration date
and stared at my email inbox until the mosquito came back

he said, “remember that one thing you never finished?”
i said, “you’ll have to be more specific.”

the cat sat on a pile of unpaid dreams
then knocked over a mug that says “you got this”
i didn’t

slipford is quiet today.
the vending machine in the woods finally tipped over.
no one noticed but me and the fern.
