When you're thinking of doing
but you're toing and froing
knowing that toing and froing
is a Victorian phrase and
digressing doesn't help.

So we say
it's on the to-do list
and it is until we scribble it out
because we know
to and fro
is what we do best.
research is kind, we have tried many colours.


we ate the cake, yet not wishing to appear
greedy left a crumb.
for a bird.
Is this what it feels like.

pruning the roses
cutting the grass
endless tea breaks
will these things pass?

I have this friend
And boy, her life is hard
Compared to her mom
My dad is normal
Her dad died
About two years ago
And she has autism
What a life

I invited her over today
To play some board games with friends
And then sleepover
And she said yes
She also said that tomorrow was her birthday

I want to be a good friend
But I don't know what to do
Talking to her is hard for me
I want to ask her about her life
But I don't want to make her uncomfortable
I want to laugh
But I don't know what about

I want to make it fun for her
She deserves it, after all
But how?

I will do my best
It's all I can do
But I'm still stressed
Though I don't want to
Not sure
But I love the idea
of She as a Goddess.
