Eating peanuts while watching the eclipse.
Crunching on them hard, just for kicks.
Licking my lips when I’m done feels nice.
I open another bag before all the little mice.
Pouring the peanuts in my mouth is great.
Send me more peanuts please, it is my fate.
Eating more peanuts while watching the eclipse will make me do back flips.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

A Busy Memory
There was sunlight skipping off the road, reflecting off of other cars, making it hard for me to know which way I was flying by. If not for focus, there's no telling where I would land. Maybe I wouldn't land at all but instead continue sailing into the sun, into the light that burns holes where my eyes used to be. I wonder how it would feel to burn up while on the way to something with mundane importance. One moment you could be full of purpose and then in the next, you are nothing more than a busy memory.

Back flips? Hahahahahaha. I wonder if the peanuts are actually peanuts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, certainly before the mice!
haha. I loved this bit of whimsy...and that final line is perfectly odd! Well done, Alex!
The backflips at the end was so unexpected😅
Two challenges in one , cool . I love snacking on peanuts, too.
