company

that's the funny thing
about being a writer
you see the charm
in mediocre things
like waking up to rain on mondays
& takeout boxes in dimly lit kitchens,
fallen trees
& messy beds
city lights &
the act of
running away from them

you see something beautiful
where others only see

and it can get a little lonely
in this big world
of seeing beautiful things
the way
only your
eyes can see

and maybe that's why I always have this pen in my hand.
maybe it's just the ink
that keeps me company.
