When you're looking for a beaver
everything pretends to be one
a jumping fish
a floating log
a ripple in the water

The fish are back. The first thing I see when I open my eyes is two of them fighting, hovering just below the popcorn ceiling. Well, that’s a development, at least. I yawn and rub the crustiness out of the corners of my eyes.
Driving down dirt roads
Ten miles per hour over the speed limit

Slowing down
Tapping my foot to my new depression playlist
Tears
I didn't capitalize the word i
six years ago
in July
in the photo book I made
to commemorate those months
