Olfaction
I smell alot of questions.
I smell a change in me
soon
maybe
we’ll see.
But.
I don’t smell food. I mean I do smell food. But smell means almost nothing to me.
Scents are different. I smell scents.
lavender
coconut
the haze in the air that lingers after a match has gone out
I smell scents but I don’t smell what makes me tick.
what makes me tick I hear and I see.
I wonder what it is like to be one of those people that smells things all day. There is a name for that time of person that has super-amazing olfactory abilities. But I couldn’t tell you what they’re called. and, unfortunately, neither can the internet.
smell must mean so much to those people.
all they do all day is sit and smell wines or cheeses. or perfumes for celebrity fragrances…. That’s a lot of sniffing. And a lot of inter-sniff coffee beans.
“What do you do?”
“Oh, I smell things for a living.”
Huh.
