straight-up-oj

There’s a moment.
when you live alone,
and it’s late,
and you’re thirsty,
and all the cups are clean cause you did all the dishes
and you don’t feel like getting one out or making it dirty
but you just bought some orange juice
and orange juice is really for the morning
but you want some anyway
not a ton, just a little sip
and you remember that you live alone, so
you can do whatever you want
and you open that oj up right then and there and take a sip straight from the bottle
it fills you with not just oj
but pride.
sip it. savor it.
let it last.
you’re in a moment.
sometimes it feels like it’ll last forever
like it won’t go away
like you’d rather have anything else
but one day
it’ll be different
you’ll have a honey pickier than poo bear
and a little squirt sippin bottles
and you’ll be bringing home the bacon
and you can still do whatever you want, you know
but it just
won’t be the same
as this
moment
