UNTITLED 48
Smell of warmed chocolate chip cookies
Browned butter and dark brown sugar
D’Angelo’s soothing voices
Light casting in, even on a gloomy day
Students studying presentation slides
Actors rehearsing and marking lines
Remote employees (me) typing and way
Slacking, sending messages on Teams, and Outlook—the worst emailing tool
Expelling this toxic feeling OUT
Churning it into strength
Out of my bedroom
Into the real world
Letting it affect me in a way that it knows how to
Beauty
Wonder
“Focusing on joy.”
