I See You

i see you... do you ever look out the window and see your patio, a car, that strider bike, a potted plant and remember that an actual live human being had the idea for that and an actual live human being designed and built and sold the fire engine toy, the comfy lounge chair, the cooler and do you remember that a team of people were there for the construction of the container you call home and that those people had trauma and hopefully joy and addictions and probably sex they ate food and complained and laughed sometimes too someday the sandbox will be moved and the car will be gone and probably the bike too it's easy to think we don't matter it's easy to be hypnotized by the hype of influencers and adaptogens and public figures and butt implants but the truth is you matter and not in the way they tell us: that you are just making more trash but in the ways that you are human and having anxiety and breathing smokey air and getting the dishwasher loaded someone someday might notice the merits of your heart and today that someone is me loving you from snowy colorado, amy
