you begin to annoy strangers at after parties

you start to annoy strangers at after parties and talking to gas station attendants too long and you start to drive in silence and you stop

singing in the shower and you realize it is about

never being comfortable. You are desperately grasping at a $20 4-D Movie experience where they mist you in the face and tell you that you really left this dark room.

you start to linger too long at the door and you realize that you have forgotten to close out your tab 3 nights in a row and you start to walk home slower and you start to annoy strangers at the bar

you begin talking out of turn and it stops being your turn.

and you start drifting when you drive and you start chasing tattered threads

and you start picking up rotten fruit and thinking about if you would still eat it and you start thinking about how hungry you are

and you start thinking about the exact moment the ripe something hit the ground.
