imperfection

under my eyes are dark circles
my keys lost in a subway car
i flub a talk, i get angry
i know perfection is far
i'm a human
not a machine

refreshing

lemonade with ice on a hot day
sliced watermelon, or frozen grapes

all refreshing, like
her skin on mine

birkenstocks

a daughter
slinks an arm around her mother
happily, they exit the subway car
in matching birks
