Palindrome 2022

A man jogs around an oval, a drinking bird swings back and forth. Two boys wrestle in a suburban living room, and one falls asleep on his bedroom floor. Peeling stickers, wood vinyl, beige carpet. An injured wrist is bandaged while a toy train loops in circles. A girl's name, Anna, is carved into a tree. The knife is flicked open and closed, catching a glint of light. A runner can’t arrive when he runs in a circle.
