Freely given.

Today --

I was given free ice cream, then bought a truffle for a dollar and was given a caramel, then wandered for a bit and was given free hot chocolate.

The world decided that, if I was going to have one thing for free, it ought to allow for other things as well.

Or perhaps I'm just lucky.

wordless.

worldless

...

less a word, less a world, under it all, I think I'm finding
something I understood once and forgot and knew again
I was looking forward to reading in quiet and shush and hush
and I find the sky more comforting when it's gone blue and pink
and white isn't a color I wear, but I look at it when I'm alone
and things are never what they seem to be but I think my bathwater
smells like you might like it and I knew once how to mean a word
in one way I think you've forgotten how to listen and yet I know
these things and want to talk to you the way I talk to myself.
