“Normality is a paved road, but no flowers grow on it.” -Vincent Van Gogh


I was walking behind you.

Not by choice, but I was.

Your smell from meters away hit me harder than peanut butter,

cigarettes,

and infected tooth.

Id smelled it many times before, 

your smell,

but I wouldn’t dare call it familiar.

Familiar things have a sense of home.

You don’t.

 

I covered my nose with my sleeve.
