there is a break in the rain
but water still drips from the trees
crows are perched at the crown
as young warblers keep watch
as ducks get their afternoon sleep
and a timid baby seagull
is breaking bread with me
the water in the fountain flows backwards
the lilies are gone from the pond
all is quiet- too quiet
but the squirrels still are skittering
up, down, and around the old oak trees

The ‘rona got me guys x_x three years spent dodging it, forgot my mask at the Whaley house, and me and my sister just tested positive T_T
If/when I’m better, I read that you can donate blood cuz you’ll have a lot of antibodies and it can help people who are fighting it. Has anyone done that? I can’t recall if I’ve given blood before or not, but can you just do that at the doctors office? I’ve sold my plasma to pay bills before but I might be confusing that with giving blood idk
saw from your fic that you're gonna come to nyc for beetlejuice!! just saw it on nov 12 and it's absolutely amazing, you're really in for a treat <3
(also i promise nyc isn't that scary but maybe that's just cuz im native to the city)
[obligatory apologies for how late this is - just checked my askbox for the first time in months and saw a few things I hadn't had the chance to reply to yet!]
I saw the musical back in nov2019 and jan2020! super weird to think of how different the world [and I] was back then. I was still in high school when I saw the show, and now I'm a sophomore in college! my interests have shifted a lot over the years, but I still find myself humming along to the songs every once in a while.
nyc is a pretty fun city! I love being there for <3 days; past that, I start getting claustrophobic LMAO. I'm a dmv kid at heart!
it would be foolish to think it over
to imagine that this is an end
that this end is more than it is
it would be prudent to think it over
roll it around once or twice
check with all 5 selves in your head
oh, isnt it a lofty ideal?
to make peace before you end up dead?
