Hello poetry patients! Here’s a little assessment in poetry form inspired by Larissa’s recent trip to the psychiatrist (not caused by Kelly’s mind bending poem from last week, don’t worry!).


Assessment

 

Being a cool girl has cost me my agency 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


The moon affects who my days belong to 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I feel drunk in my teeth first 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I live laugh love it

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I’m always opening parentheses I forget to close 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


If I have nothing good to add then I will subtract 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I yam what I yam 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I find myself distracted by my winters 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


I like the taste of hellos 

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 


My existence is a Gesamtkunstwerk

Never         Seldom    Sometimes    Rarely        Often        Always 



How did you feel about that? I’d love to see your answers. I will see you for our follow up session in two weeks and you will receive the bill through the mail. Thank you

Xoxo

Hi. Yuse. The Yam thing, too, on my Hinsta Gram, Hall the Time. Fascination with word forms leaking into new inflorescences.

I am catching up, but this one is such a great reflection on life. And questionnaires.

And yes, my existence is a Gesamtskunstwerk. Always.
