Extra
If I had to use one word to describe you, Extra, would be it
You don’t ask much of me
But when it comes to your watering, if it’s not done with the quickness, you droop like no one’s business
Sometimes I think you get a kick out of my reactions to your drooping,
my abrupt pause
my shock
my desperation
my sadness
my attentiveness
and my haste to bring you the elixir of life
And when my back is turned your spring back up, as if nothing happened, as you weren’t on death’s door
Extra
If I had to use one word to describe myself, Extra, would be it.
