mini bottles and jars

i collect bottles

small, mini bottles.

1 inch by 1.5 inch cork bottles, 

centimeter sized jars,

and they are functional

and quite cheap.

so when i buy these bottles and jars

it is done quite obsesively.

i can feel the dopamine rush when i see small, functional objects.

i own 4 cork bottles

20 jars

and they don't take up much room,

so i can buy them in bulk.

my mother never understands why 

i refer to this collection, these bottles, as "cute"

as if one would be attracted to these objects,

but when you fill these bottles,

with even smaller objects,

these habitats of color and fake life

blossom and become beautiful.

so,

try collecting mini bottles and jars

they might just find a special string in your heart to hold onto.

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

    like shifting shadows moving across walls and space

    I constantly reflect everything and everyone

    daydreamers like to envision a new world

    one where every cog in the machine does its job

    we get tired of being the mirror
