i only drink
orange juice
after
brushing my teeth
i prefer to shower
fully clothed
i rarely cringe
when a stranger
makes eye contact
i rarely leave
my home

i am the sum
of all my faults
i am the lack
of depth perception
on a trail
lined
with rusted barb wire

i feel there is something
gravely wrong
with me
but sitting alone
in the darkness
the issues
feel sublime
