Legal Pad Wallpaper

The austerity of my blank walls
Like a canvas for late night feeling
Covered in legal pad wallpaper
I fill it with quick poems and meaning
Just tryna be more honest
Just tryna read the room
And spark up essential conversations
That can lead to a better me and you

While everything around us
Warps with heavy rains and winds
Blowing around our futures
As we traverse Alewife T walk hills
Still this common sense of grounding
Anchoring us in shower-locked arms
Amidst a tornado of transience
Surviving via purple chairs and deep morning talks

And I want you here under these walls
Making plans to get work done
And I want us to quickly break those plans apart
As we get lost in random fun
So I wait for the all clear
Half anticipating it never comes
And you actually do disappear
As I scribble away on legal pad walls
So I wait for the all clear
And I trust it will come today
With a poem or two at the ready
So again I'll be affirmed that I can stay
And you'll say, "you can stay"
And I'll stay at least for today
