#fettered
(Senryu-ous story)
I can’t figure out
why everything doesn’t
happen like I want.
I brush my teeth and
floss regularly, I wash
my roommates dishes,
I am generous,
I don’t run in the hallways,
I do my homework.
I support pizza
places, Amazon - I spur
the economy
semi-sleepless night
no worries, but tossing with
no sleep - what’s with that?
My health app says I
slept three hours, four minutes.
I’m low on toothpaste.
five-thirty AM
Lisa and I ran four miles
on the gym treadmills
Banana/ peanut
butter/ cacao/ oat milk/ chia
seed breakfast smoothie.
I've been in love with
styling dresses, layered
over flared jean pants.
My first look was a
tulle dress over sequined jeans
and tan kitten heels.
The winter hook-up
scene is in full swing - not for
me, I’m like second base
I just lay around,
in sad, unfettered, boredom
- a crying shoulder
for others, I’m not
a skanky ***** like [censored]
- try penicillin - ßℹℸçⒽ
Since, as you can see,
I am, for all intents and
purposes - perfect.
I can’t figure out
why everything doesn’t
happen like I want.

Untethered at times
but, only in short
spurts do you sprint.
I see you, grazing the
sweetgrass-edges, green and lush;
such a perfect circle
you carve--
Peg, spiked in dry dirt;
the clanking hobble, has you
starved.
Dragging chain, uprooting succulents
scraping bare the dry ground
while beautiful, unfenced; is
the grassland- all around
You were built to be wild, love..
Wild.
