The smell of dryer sheets

The smell of dryer sheets

Walking

cold wind brushes the smell of dryer sheets past my little nose,
the streets unravel before me
as my dyslexic mind tries to remember
which way, which way
this way or that way
my heart beats faster
tilting my head to the side in thought
this way i nod forward in a direction
on uncertain steps
this way i repeat trying to sell myself on confidence i borrowed from a friend
this way
this is the way
this is the way my mind works when trying to make a decision.


drinking Twinnings lemon scented tea,
rabbit
