#NaPoWriMo 2024 day twentythree

i was told to
feel it all
but i don’t think
i want to—
it seems like work.
 
do you even
feel at all?
she said to me.
i was too high
to think about
how i feel
i could only
think of her
body next to
my body—
which is
not the same.
 
i was asked
how many ways
are there
to feel awe:
you fall in love,
you climb a mountain,
you find God,
a child is born,
you embrace
the new day;
help me
to stop forgetting.
