I am not sure how to keep it fed

I would rather die than grocery shop

Hi folks, Larissa here. What a week. It’s been so much, too much perhaps. Here’s a poem in response to Sophie Crocker’s first poem for PTK and this Jenna Jaco prompt. Ok, love y’all. Guess we’re back <3

I’m not sure how to keep it fed

I have never known and that is, 
or rather it might be, why

I have let everyone of my virtual
pets pixelate and agonize, why

no book goes unread but not 
the one gets written, why 

the horse I no longer ride is 
forgotten like the yoga mat, why

I would rather cry than grocery shop 
for more of health, because why 

would I now learn what a dorodango
love is, when I should have learned 

from Myth Busters to polish that 
Sisyphusian turd. But instead I 

just ignore the beeps from my 
pocket, the tamagotchi is begging. 







After Jenna Jaco’s prompt as outlined on “New poem in Passages North..??!?.”
