/r/OddlySatisfying
That feeling after
picking dried Elmer’s glue
off your fingertips,
or finishing the leftovers
right before grocery day
and leaving an empty fridge,
or finally tonguing that
popcorn shell
you’ve been working on all morning.
That’s how I feel every time
I no longer hear my toddler in the other room
and get images from
Final Destination movies
or the phone pole scene from
Hereditary
and I race to find you
reading a book or playing with your toys
and you smile at me
like everything’s fine.

Well either playing with toys or cat litter
good images evoking the feeling you are describing
All familiar sensations to me. Thank you for capturing this.
Love the remembrance of peeling off Elmer’s glue from your flesh.
your wife is VERY funny!
Powerful poem! Love the opening images.
