There’s a large freckle under my left eye

that I would wipe at

for hours

trying to clean the “dirt” off my face

 

My right front tooth has a chip in it

from when I tried to use a butter

knife

as a toothpick

 

I had tattoos splotched on my arms

they were almost all impulse

decisions

that I now question

 

My hairline is the same as my grandmother and her mother

an isosceles triangle patch nustled on the left side of

my scalp

that has never grown hair

 

I start each day cursing myself for not waking up earlier

and end the night with deja vu

a strict skincare regime

and writing five pages in my journal

 

There is always so much I want to do during the day

that I never get around to it

and even though I check off some of my “to do’s”

I linger on the “did not’s”
