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.
