i don’t really know
what i’m writing this morning
i just know
i wish i had
some
dopamine/serotonin/anything
to keep me company
through this season

~~~

is my
not having
an up-to-date phone
just a reminiscence of being
four versions out of date
in my aol/internet service
and therefore
a form of
comfort?

~~~

writing poems
and hearing the rhymes
that didn’t make it in
but somehow
making the poem
fuller
is a weird sort of poet magic

if only the heavy

[pitter]patter of the rain

falling all around us

calmed down my dog

as much

as

it excites my very being



i suppose i shall simply be content

in the fact that

she looks to us for comfort.
