(w)ren's nest

the future holds a grudge

the future is holding a grudge against me for all the times I said “tomorrow”. her fists are balled, white knuckled - if I look at her wrong she’ll let me have it.

so i look down as I walk and i judge the distance between objects based on the shadows passing over my shoes. 

this only works in one direction. 

i’ll shuffle slowly and procrastinate til the sun sets.
