flowers

earlier today I could not stop thinking about how far we have not come
and about how much of nothing I have
(unless you count the plenty of debt and the imaginary boyfriend and the tummy ache and the pretty flowered pillowcases that I picked up on sale a while back and the pirate song that was reminding me of a time when I used to be alive)

but then you came back
(well, all but one)
and now I’m thinking that maybe my nothing
is not such a bad haul after all
