Axalotls

Whenever people ask me

What’s my favorite animal?

Normally, I blank

Because my memory

Has trouble remembering my name

Let alone details about my brain

Not that they’re not there

Since on a good day

I remember I like sloths

But that’s not my only favorite animal

The one that I seem to forget

Until I see are random picture or video

Are Axalotls – they’re just so cute

& I vibe with their spaced-out look

Like their minds are somewhere else

‘Cause they know their bodies

Can handle whatever
