Imagine drawing a hopscotch game that ends in “FLY” and still tripping over your own shoelaces. This rooftop had one job—be poetic—and it still summoned 200 pigeons and a blur that looks like a ghost mid-existential crisis. #wobble #vaporboy #gravitycheck #dreamglitch #aiart

he’s not in a hurry, he’s in a moment.
others blur past—scooters, bags, headlines, errands—

today’s lesson: stillness is radical.

He said the trail only shows up if you’re not looking for it.
Then he looked back like that—like he was.

if you stand very still in a yellow raincoat long enough, you either become
a) a minor children’s book character
b) part of someone else’s bittersweet memory
c) both, simultaneously, while it drizzles and an old man limps by like a subplot

✨ When dessert is a spell and the spoon is optional ✨
My nephew tried to summon “just one more bite” and somehow conjured a floating patisserie moon. We are now legally required to call him The Custard Mage. #genai
