Shh!
It’s 11:24 again
Everyone’s asleep
I tiptoe quietly to the door

As I shut it ever so slightly,
in front of me,
you
aka my next door neighbor
aka the girl of my dreams
aka the most gorgeous person in the world

you and i 
were the unification 
of one and one
to become
one 

you and i 
were the blossoming
the flower
and the grass

you and i
were the weaving of silk
dependent

remember the day we met at the meadow? 

how your braided petals 
spiraled endlessly,
like the loops 
in a bulb

how your voice
so soft and lovely
opened up 
like a flower 

To think 
it was another day
going to the bay
catching fish
being at the dinner table
with the grandmother, 
the fisherman,
the farmer,
the child,
eating to our hearts' content.

To think

Sometimes
when I'm on my knees 
I thank the Almighty
for giving me 
the things I need

A mother who works day in day out
A father who is up from sunrise to sunset to nightfall

you see the glamour
the supreme
the drip
the gains
your bros showing off
and you can’t help
but feel left out

“cmon,” 
they say
“its where the honeys is at”
“give it a try yo”

simps,
friends,
