daily dairy diary

By Sonam Kaloti, Arts Editor


White like the tiles

in the bathroom


or on the kitchen floor.

Cold, my toes press

against the tiles

as I traverse

towards the

fridge.


Exuberant in youth-

fullness with

strawberry, chocolate.

Not soy.

Plain was silk enough

so good I’d say;


downing one

two three

twenty—

far too many.


My toes

have had enough

of this bathroom floor.


The tiles are cold.

So am I.
