no haikus ever

I spent a week sleeping on the floor

On the beach

In a hallway

I took long, dumb walks

Long past the point where my feet ached

To places too big to properly see with my eyes

I saw old friends

And they're all doing great

And they took me in

I met a friend who I've talked to for years

And she showed me an island

Made of straight-up gumption

I got lost constantly

Which was frustrating

But, y'know, it's the journey, right?

I'm going home

But I think you took my heart

You big, ugly, smelly, wonderful city

And all of my money, too
