I’m connecting shit to other shit because it makes me feel better
feeling better like my complicated problems aren’t even within my control
you know like
it’s not up to me that the tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational effects of the Moon and Sun
or that the human menstrual cycle is only about as long as a lunar month
or that if neurons fire at the beginning or end of a specific behavior a habit is formed
or that toxic patterns are natural disasters that require extensive distance to unlearn

so what else could I do

but miss you once a month like a howling wolf
maybe it ain’t up to us
just a side effect of
existence and connections…
