I Am A Work In Progress & Other Poems

Three New Poems & A Playlist (just for you, my favorite people)

This week is a poem dump. I wish we had a better word for dump. But dump it is, I guess. But also a playlist and some pictures of my family.

I Am A Work In Progress 

as in imagining the best possible outcome 

   to make disappointment inevitable 

as in falling in love too easily 

as in enjoying schadenfreude a little too much

as in allowing for at least three presses of the snooze button 

as in putting off a visit to the doctor 

as in singing boldly like I know all the lyrics 

as in retaining a toxic habit or two 

   just to get shit done / 

as in always putting the garlic in too early / 

   so it singes at the edges  

      and makes me curse myself 

as in caring about the words 

   like they are creatures of their own.
