nr everyone's talking to everyone else
but no one's in touch with me
nothing i feel can be recognized
except the anxiety

nr exes come out of the woodwork
when loneliness finally wins out
but if they talk to you less than before
what was anything ever about?

nr so many posts about about delicious desserts,
beer and homemade bread;
if only your your gut
wouldn't act like a butt
you'd recall what it's like to be fed

nr had a dream last night
about someone i've never met
we were trying to find our way through a giant circle of birds

they were staring us down
and wouldn't let us out
but we finally found our way in the space between
the turkey and the swan

I've been making up songs but not POETRY-poetry.

nr trying to survive in your solo home
with no job or partner or pets
is really a test to see how you'd exist
in the loneliest loneliness gets
