i thought my eyes were making a fool of me,
if it wasn't the skies playing tricks with my eyes.

there are some things you won't see caved in the seat behind machines,
there are some stars you won't catch at nights,
there are some drifts you won't get if you can only contain yourself.

wednesday used to be my favorite day of the week, when i was 19.
mine this week started out with an enormous sight,
i smiled along my walk to work, a good 20 minutes if not more.
i thought, how bad can anything get? how low can anyone fall?
the world is beautiful, if you remember to look beyond your pathetic self,
beyond things that don't go your way, because it isn't the only way.

i took many things upon my shoulders,
and took it back out on them when they wore thin.
i tried to pull things together, shaped them in proportion,
held a handful slightly bigger than my own.
i thought i could manage with strong faith,
but maybe i just needed bigger hands, or those without gaps between fingers.
i can't secure many things within my embrace, let alone beyond.
i can't rescue things that get consumed by themselves.

wednesday skipped along with me for half a day.
wednesday tripped over and turned its back on me.
