Iridescent Milestone
January 28, 2022
Everyone around
“Click” pause “Click”
On their iridescent dreams
Adjusting their shirts
Taking deep breaths
Biting their nails
Wiggling their toes
Brushing off the dust
On their plain black hoodies
Watching the tiny split
Between the border
Of the wooden table
In which a gumball is stuck
Everything suddenly becomes clear
Because only then do they hear
The sound of scribbling
Do they see
Dribbles of sweat
Do they taste
The silent fear
Do they think
One click
On the iridescent screen
To make my destiny
Or break it
