I wake up with the idea that I will be
Stephen King today although I am ideologically
anti-plot, still I will
write a whole book or at least
finish the story I started a few weeks ago
titled, appropriately, Disappointed and I will
also do a series of Other Things. I’ve never written
lists and today could be the day to start. Put
doable things say Online Experts
such as: buy green grapes
so maybe today I will buy green grapes
go get the new Hilma Wolitzer book
I love Hilma Wolitzer she’s 91 has a new book
good news for me I’ll buy it at the Strand
even though I don’t like the Strand and their anti-union politics
get some fish at Citerella
not argue with Any Strangers
about Scott Stringer Maya Wiley Katrine Garcia
someone actually mentioned Curtis Sliwa yesterday
was he kidding and then I’ll have an iced coffee
somewhere in walking distance from this apartment
and come home in time to teach my 3:30 class
and Not Worry That I Didn’t Do Anything Else.
Love this poem and you so much! <3
Esther, get out of my head! Love this poem!
