explore
and
expedite
every
human
experience

that’s the kips
that’s the kips

wanting to suck the marrow out of life
not miss out on one thing
but also
to achieve and advance in
the quickest amount of time
possible

like it’s a race

like it’s a contest

can the kips achieve
the
full human experience
by the time they hit
45?

[can the kips understand
that not every experience can be
caught, some are fleeting, and some
literally cannot happen until
old age is actually gotten]

[can the kips admit that
every human life is different
even
each other’s?]

so interesting how
being in one’s 30’s feels
like settling into the person you
were before testing out all the other life things

i’m hungry for experiences
but i need only try something
once
and then i’m happy to go back
and just cuddle my kip and my cat and my dog
and organize books alphabetically
and wake up each morning
to write poetry

[i do wonder if this is the true 9-year-old me, but i also have to admit,
i still have that 9-year-old inside me, plus the 16-year-old who couldn’t
help but immediately drive to see friends the moment they got their
license, and the 22-year-old who just really wanted connection with
whomever would connect with me. i think it’s always been, not about
partying, but about connection. and i also think 9-year-old me
would agree.]
