sharks with blood in the water

a list of ten things

ten things that are like sharks with blood in the water

⊹ ࣪ ﹏﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖

1. kids when they detect trace levels of Weird on another kid

2. me at the thrift store on 50% off red tags day

3. Wall Street on the ninety-ninth floor where stocks are zigzagging and the suit-people are screaming and hurling their bodies off balconies

4. first to the scene news team

5. my ex when vulnerability fractured fault lines on my skin like an antique vase

6. Macy’s on black Friday

7. carpenter ant colony when leaves are pirouetting to the jungle floor

8. the paparazzi when a celebrity displays symptoms of mental illness

9. me after three mezcal margaritas and there are guys with long hair nearby

10. city pigeons when the sweet elderly couple brings bread to the same park bench each day, crumbs spilling through cracks in their fingers
