poems
looking back on other poems
are apparently what my poems
had in store for me today
re-reading my terrible
obsession books
and loving
every
minute
i would like to learn how to be less careful
less risk-averse
more risk-taking
more prone to
having fun
letting loose
and just
go
every now and then i get scared
off from sharing this poetry blog because
what if my best poems are behind me
and those i invite to read only see now and upcoming
and never ever see the good stuff?
why does emailing feel like an imposition
when others still call without first texting
or even text and expect an immediate response?
am i just
too careful
for my own
kind?
actually listened to music
on purpose
with focus
yesterday
what does that make me
today?
organizing, hoping, working, planning
i’m waffling between excitement and dread
but the dread is the minutiae, the details, the prep
the excitement is the visit, the fun, the experiences
and how much time will i end up spending at Umami?
just write something
so this page doesn’t look so lonely,
so these words can have friends joining them
rather than setting myself up to
drop off random words
alone
into july
first day gone by
can’t exactly tell you why
i’m both calmed and concerned by
the month of
july
