remind myself to gasp

so i wake up and think, reality. and i go back to sleep.

i get up later, make too-strong coffee, read about fast food and prodigies. i'll be eating oatmeal for a month, i don't mind, yeah, lost my mind, yeah. outside everything is tinged with a hope of rain, with that grey and chill and the green of the tree leaves that just looks like it wants to be wet. downpour, rain down from a great height. i love to look out the living room window at the neighbors' giant maple tree. trees are wise, i feel it. i feel lit. i feel that i feel them, i touch their bark where teenagers have scawled their names in hearts with pen knives. "i'm sorry," i whisper upwards to the ancient-spirited branches. trees are sad, i think. these trees, confined to sections of sidewalk, ignored except to be carved into and pruned. i think they cry, i think i can hear them. they make sad music and it soothes me and it bleeds me.

"I am amazed by the beauty of everything," she wrote, "but in a numb, accepting way. I worry and waste my time and I find myself having to remind myself to pray, and remind myself to gasp."
