Mid-30s vibes. Fall in love, fall out
of Love.
Fall for a fling. A flirtation, a
Demonic being.
Too many children.
Who actually wants
Them?
Babies crying, need more money
To hire somebody else to
take care of these screeching
needy, lumps of poo and wee.
Too tired to cook. Feeling guilty
At the Drive-Thru.
Self-loathing, self-esteem
Lowering.
Swipe, swipe, swipe…
Tempting.
What did we sign or not sign
before our wedding?

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
