if you ask me,
what grand adventures I hope for
if you ask me,
how to change the world
if you ask me,
what kind of mountains
I want to climb
what kind of life i want to live
I would say that we all have
undefinable longings
i would say the never ending normalcy
of dirty dishes and shift work
in the day to day space
that is seemingly endless
keeps me stuck in the ordinary
i would say
i don’t know how to change the world
i don’t even know how to pay last months
gas bill…
