dusty computer screen

don’t fix it
don’t wipe it away

instead enjoy how each speck
catches the sunlight as it streams through the window
a little earlier
and earlier
each morning

[we’re on the upswing now—
it only gets brighter
from here]

the puppy boofs
“BROOOOURRRRGHHHHRRRRMNNNRRRR!!!”
and kip works on a magnum opus
of an op-1 song
made out of sillies from
dropout
make some noise
the squiggle show
josh ruben

and we wait for our bagels
patiently

and i write
sporadically

less
meds
for this cat—
you’d think that would make her
more likely to accept
the singular med
once a day
we have now

but no

instead she has run from me
every chance she’s gotten
this morning

let’s see if in this moment i can
trick her into letting me
catch
her…

success!

i completely forgot
for a moment there
that some people drink
hot things
in the morning

and i got so confused
and concerned
seeing some sort of gas roiling
above kip’s mug

but it’s just steam
from their tea

how silly of me
how silly of me

i’m writing so much
but i have so little to show for it
for it’s all poem-to-do-lists
and commentary on previous writing
and ideas for future writing
and i would like to stick to today
from this moment on, okay?

i wish i saw through poet’s eyes
the beauty of the earth at all times —
but instead i see the pain and despair
and try to beautify that
with impassioned speeches/
or try to find the tiniest spec
of lovely
in a day full of pain/
and make the mundane
beautiful again

though it doesn’t really feel like
poetry
to me
without grand sunsets
or allegories of bees and flowers,

i’m over here trying —
making beauty out of angst
and bubble gum
