Everything Needed

Plans are happening.

Clothes are on.

Keys in your hand.

Everything needed for leaving already happened.

Then the room sways a bit.

No visible disaster, nor thought worth reporting—merely the sudden knowledge that the next thing’s gonna cost more than you have.

You sit down “for a minute.”

Two minutes.

Later, cancellation feels dishonest.

Later still, it feels like the only honest thing you did all day.
