raze it came a long way to get to you

through three-hundred-and-fifty-degree heat
on a flat metal pan

through kraft paper
and bubble wrap

through days that thought
they'd never end
and nights that hoped to live
a little longer

through customs
through dirt and concrete
through humidity
thick enough to choke on

through the distance between then
and the strange city
that calls itself now

and
it's stale

(I do understand that the sentiment here is "things will get better" but I can't ignore the undertone of a darker interpretation. As in, "your suffering has only just begun" type of thing.)

(I am more than halfway amazed that this blathe already exists and that it isn't actually concerning dour strange or disappointing fortune cookies. But here I am. Better_late_than_never.)
