life is not a race and you’re not behind
i’m excited about the james webb images
and images of the telescope itself
i like calling my husband hubble, i wonder if he’d call me webb...
i now pronounce us hubble and webb
maybe we can have a hamster named pebble
and i’d ask to be called webble just to fit in.
i have his birthday gift downstairs.
i was worried the guards would alert him when he left
but luckily there wasn’t free parking available tomorrow
so he had to go to the basement to get the car from the paid parking
sometimes bad stuff that happen end up being lucky
i tried an instant coffee with strawberry flavoring in it
but it was too sweet
so i added real coffee
and real strawberries
real milk, and fake sugar
sometimes i just want to try things a little bit
to replicate them a lotta bit
i was thinking of buying a lavender soap
but it was too expensive and not on sale
there was only one on the shelf
i asked, is this a sign, should i take it
so i put it in my cart,
and suddenly found a different
larger, cheaper
lavender soap
maybe it was a sign to take it so i can feel how much better it was to buy the better option
maybe it wasn’t a sign at all
and people just like lavender
and are intimidated by big bottles of soap
it’s so hard to wake up in the morning
i keep giving myself bribes
like coffee, and fake urgency
i need a way to remind myself how the hard things feel better in the long term.
it feels good to clean
it feels good to create things
it feels good to move around
and be in one’s body
in this very short time
in this very small space
compared to the vast infinity of the universe
shown to us by hubble and webb.
