I beg the rain to wash away my sad discontentment,

and along with it, may my resentment rush towards rivers, in far away lands.

I strive to ground myself like the ground coffee beans that fell on the ground that I just stared at for a moment.

I check-in with my five senses.

I see the rain slipped from the roof edge.

I hear the clock’s steady pace.

I don’t smell anything at all but it would be nice to smell chocolate chip cookies baking.

I taste the aftertaste of bitter coffee.

I feel the touch of my heartbeat encouraging my body to look more alive.
