Violet bEnt bAckwards Over The gRass

I went to a party

I came in hot

made decisions beforehand 

my mind made up

things that would make me happy

to do them or not

each option weighed quietly

a plan for each thought

But then i walked through the door

past the open concept

and saw Violet

            bent backwards over the grass

7 years old with dandelions grasped

                                  tightly in her hands

arched like a bridge in a fallen handstand

grinning wildly like a madman

with the exuberance that only doing nothing can bring

waiting for the fireworks to begin

and in that moment

i decided to do nothing about everything

forever.
