Strange habits! oh my,
strange habits!
when you mix avocado puree
with your blackberry tea
when you recklessly spring-clean
as the white night progresses
when you lie down spread-eagled
fully clothed on your bedsheets
when you pretend to be sleeping
so the monsters could fade
when you ride on a cart
down the whole supermarket
when you’re up for assembling
without reading instructions
when you snack on your pens
or your nails or lips
when you dumbly forget
you’ve been boiling a kettle
and when you offer your friendship
at the drop of the hat
remember
you are the happiest person
you are having your crescendos of life
so
be kind
be kind, too
to others’ strange habits.
