In this ridiculous
cynical world
can two people be each other's muses?
despite sketchy moves, drawn to each other
mixing like a drink at a pretentious southern bar
written as a thought-provoking short story
with a sudden ending.
Is there a way for the person I write about
to be out there, thinking of me?
Making his own version of poetry?

I need a teacher
to tell me that I'm great
at this writing thing
who will give me constructive criticism
and As
and gold stars or something
Or I at least need a teacher
to tell me that I'm terrible
and should revise
and demand more of myself
and hit the delete button
and do something else with my life
But now that I'm the teacher--
...how do I get better?

Why is it that other people's impressions
mean more than any reflections
ever have?

We need to talk
He said as I sipped wine in a bath tub
all while being watched by my cat
after a good work day
Feet don't hurt
at all.
Purring.
We really don't.

Cerci Lannister.
Hiding nothing.
T-shirts with no bras.
Disney princesses.
Gay rights.
Doing what I want.
Black rights.
Sunglasses.
Women rights.
Moving out.
Saying what I think.
Breaking up with him.
Human rights.
Middle fingers.
Belief in self.

I think we can be something
but we're not even a we.
If we could have each other
would we even want it anymore?
I keep calling us a we.
In my head and in poetry.
We're not a we.
But **** we should be.

I really can't wait
Until I have a baby
and a wedding
For the facebook likes.

Strike 1: he has a girlfriend
Strike 2: who I know
Strike 3: want to play a different game?

I want you.
That's what they said
But I know enough to know the you
Stands for
underneath my clothes
and not ultimately
me at all.

Texting until 3 am
all of them

I must be lonely
or bored
or
interested or
