2023 Poem Eight
A List of Intrusive Thoughts My Brain Deemed More Important Than Writing Tonight
– That text asking if you remember P from high school is totally going to be telling you another ex boyfriend died
– Whatever happened to N who married that guy you almost hooked up with the first weekend of college? She hasn’t been on social media in a long time
– That old ass Dierks Bently video with the dated blonde fauxhawk? Yeah, that’s not Dierks, that’s J and you should totally panic about him being around even though you live halfway across the country from his last known city
– That cute person you met on Tinder a couple days ago? They’re totally ghosting you. They’re not observing Shabbat because they would have said they’re observant instead of dissapearing
– What do you mean we shouldn’t be browsing Facebook and Nextdoor for free stuff for the house we don’t even have yet?
– You’re behind by X poems, you should just throw in the towel
– Spend time researching all the North American cryptids. You don’t need to write when you can learn
– Fuck you
– Spend time researching walk in cares in your area that you already did a week ago but at an hour in which they are all closed so you can’t call and verify information
