Learning to Float

The thing about being above it all
is that it doesn’t matter 

how deep that hole
below you may fall 

or how many vultures 

are waiting to call 

they’ll never know now
if you even care at all 

they couldn’t 

with perspective

so small. 

My Girlfriend Makes Granola

She lights up my eyes 

just being around her 

salves all my wounds 

truths all my lies 

her smile means everything 

my girl makes granola

and satisfies.
