i want a donut
but it’s 4 AM 🕓
who eats at that
hour
certainly not
smart people
and certainly
not
donuts

i want a donut 🍩
but it’s 4 AM
and it’s so
quiet
they turn off the
little
waterfall fountain ⛲️
in the pond
outside my
window
as soon as it
gets dark
and it doesn’t turn
on
until the sun ☀️
comes up
and the sun isn’t
up
so i’m not calmed
down
by that sound
so what better
way
to calm down
until that water thing 🌊
makes bubbling
noises again ❓
oh i know
a donut
with glaze
