So this has happened.
I have shut my eyes for last time,
and it’s a bit sooner
than you would have liked.
I think it would be fucking beautiful
if you could somehow
get all the minutia of my life
to gather around me and join hands.
That teddy bear I bought myself at 29
because I was going through a bad break up
and wanted something soft to punch.
The principal balance of my mortgage.
The library card I spent months trying to get.
The tomato plants I tried to grow on the fire escape.
Have them all hold hands at my side
until there is a circle 25 miles in diameter
of all the worthless shit I ever wasted time on.
For Marian's prompt at real toads. Viva la.
