today is a day
meant for earthquakes.

they say
rocks are like rubber-bands;
when they get pulled too far,
they snap. and we have to suffer
through the waves.

(we call the things that happen next
earthquakes. they’re natural disasters,
but i think it’s really our fault
for stressing the rocks out
in the first place.)

my rubber band just snapped.
