pretty creepy how the sun is 4.603 billion years old but still follows me around like it has a chance with me

I thought in this humid weather that was the most thunderous afternoon storm I’d ever heard.

But when I looked outside it was just the bin men on my street collecting everyone’s empty wine bottles.
