trees and headphones

they’re cutting down branches directly outside my window (it is 6:30 am). i would have snoozed my alarm if i was able to get back to sleep, instead i lie with my eyes closed drifting to the lullaby of the chainsaw. i’ve broken six pairs of headphones in the past three years but i think these ones might stick. even though they’re my grandmas 2012 bose, even though they’re pink from the dye of my hair, even though they still try to connect to my grandmas ipad, they can drown out chainsaws.
