mostly waving

missteps. rain in showers. late night conversations. over drinks. over coffee. over ourselves. we get over ourselves. we get over what we've been so under. the blues are brown now. and we're mostly waving. we skinny ourselves down, to marginalizations of martyrs mired in the memories we try so hard to forget. we skinny ourselves down for the sake of persistence. for the sake of existing for more than pennies lost in inflation. lost in piles and piles of bigger, brighter, shinier. lost in what is easier to hold. missteps. rain in showers. late night conversations. and we're mostly waving.
