Words are constricting and my perspective is getting interrogated by a black blazer and a copious amount of saliva.
Did I buy a ticket to the blues?
The interview of a lifetime.
I walk in circles as if I am walking towards the sun.
While I reconsider my options,
I rush to run the tap.
The phone rings louder the further I convince myself that I’m escaping.
I soak in warm lavender water until It starts sliding through my pores.
The longer I stay the drier I feel.
Invincible.
A mermaid in the deepest shade of blue.

- Comment from author about the poem: All those times when we interviewed for jobs that we didn’t want. All those times that someone decided your potential on a half hour zoom conversation. All those times that we were dreamers and knew we belong in a different world. All those times when we didn’t want to float.
