Sonnet 1 | Like Dandelion Parachutes

(Written in July, 2016)

1. Eastern thought wins. Karma’s a bitch or a friend. Keep it good with everyone. Every one holds a piece of you.
2. Not everyone is a candidate to be your friend. Thank God for that.
3. Those who were once friends will disappear, like dandelion parachutes. It’s not personal.
4. Don’t make your words too thick. Keep it simple, brief. People don’t like paying attention to other ideologies for too long. Easily distracted and eager to return to own ruminations.
5. Mean words often only sound mean in writing.
6. Confrontation is not the the absolute worst.
7. Books are getting harder to read.
8. Frequently mispronounce words. Know what they mean and how to spell them, but evidently never hear them spoken.
9. Location-based check-ins make sure that no one runs into each other spontaneously anymore.
10. It’s useful to know where everyone is, so we can make sure we don’t run into them if it’s going to be awkward.
11. Or that we do run into them if we have something to show off
12. Why is everyone so terrified of awkwardness?
13. Why are people chasing Pokémon onto highways and train tracks?
14. Look up sometimes.
