Feel-Good Modernity
More fruit than acidity. The sweet kind: strawberries, mango, kumquat, and so on. Citrus fruits have been rendered ineffective and thickened into tonka gingerbread toffee. This helps both sides. Grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon have had their sour edge softened, preserving the chewy quality from becoming ridiculous. Delicate vetiver smoke acts as the referee, allowing only a harmonious draw. In the stands, well-dressed, a few classics: the somewhat strained-looking jasmine, the cool lavender. Rose has stayed home, still needing to finish an essay for school. Nothing heavy. More in the vein of: What was the happiest moment of my life? Still, it doesn’t come together. She puts nothing on paper, the pen rests in her hand, the blank page admonishes. She looks out the window. It’s always spring. People walk hand in hand past the garden fence. Birds are building their nests, laughing. In the air is the cheerful melody she has known since childhood. She thinks, it’s actually nice like this, isn’t it? Why can’t I put it on paper? Far back on the horizon, she notices a flicker. She sets the pen aside and goes outside.
