i cannot believe.
that
this friendship bracelet
has
survived.

almost
an entire year.

i have nightmares about losing it.
i have visions of what i can make it into when it finally falls off.
i have delusions.

delusions of its meaning.
of its worth.


why do i hang on?
to little things?

because it's the little things
in life.
in my life.
that make me feel whole.
