conflicted
no reason i don't think i've ever been this conflicted before in my life, and i'm a pretty indecisive person. 140525

kerry It’s good we aren’t getting calls from dispatch. It’s good to drive around the usual spots and see them empty or nearly empty and for someone to say nah i don’t need a snack I’m good. But now I’m just sitting here waiting for my shift to end. 210806

unhinged i want to get better at telling people how i really feel in person

covid has made that all but impossible

and the only person
that overflows me
in a tangible physical way
wants me to speak
other languages
he's more fluent in
wishes that friend thing
upon us
or maybe
between us


and once again
i find myself in a relationship
that fuels my creativity
but denies the full depth
of my heart

(is that where all the impetus comes from? misdirected want?)

but
i had been shifting
before him
and now find this
idea of platonic romance
more than satisfying

i'm becoming
more queer
in my old age


i could care less
what the world thinks
i could live on
your hugs and smiles
even in the miniscule doses
you dole out
between
jobs
exwives
children

is a modern woman in an unprecedented time

unhinged or

it could all disappear
like casual want
coulda just been
the covid denial talking


just one more example
of how entertaining and novel
i seem at first
and also
so easily cast aside
