Mao mao

I feel very detached today. 
I was watching kids play in the park, 
but it overwhelmingly smelled like dog poop. 
I was wondering in the back of my mind
why the other people couldn’t smell it too.
I thought I’d be happy to eat choco-chip egg puffs, 
I was wrong.
Then I went to the thrift store
and even though everything was amazing, 
I was not. 
Hoping to raise my spirits, I bought a chocolate, 
but I still could not. 
It can’t be fatigue, 
I barely did anything today, 
a friend wanted to hang out
but I had no words to say. 
My mind feels fuzzy 
yet devoid of thoughts right now; 
I’m trying hard, but all I can remember 
is that cats are called mao mao.
