#preparing
It's always been hard for me to switch, To stop what I'm doing and move on to the next thing That I'm told to do, whether it's at home, work or even going to the grocery store. Sometimes I sit for 20 minutes before going in somewhere. Punctuality has been a staple for me Even if it means sitting in my car for an hour, I will be there on time. I like having time in between these things to prepare It's like I need to switch mindsets before I begin, Sometimes 8 hours felt like a punishment. Other times it can fly by thanks to dissociation.

Transitions
A light tea before her reading so I can focus on her words seek out their meaning refrain her rhythms define her rhymes listen for her killer lines. A music too rich to revise.

Listening to Carol Ann Duffy
I've seen you Your just like the man who says to his fire 'Why in the world Should I gather wood for you When your not even burning yet'

the correct way to wait
All I need is a friend Sometimes I will do it all. The hard part. I make plans I put myself out there And I cancel. Because as trapped as I feel in this little room, As horrible as I feel right now, I am not ready to even look at the road less traveled. I am not ready And I will not take a leap Not when I keep falling.
