today was a good day
i have been looking out the window of
the library for about 5 minutes which feels like
45 minutes wondering if
i should go buy a cup of coffee.
(i got the coffee)
one small cup costing $1.50
i put my money in the to-go mug because i was
presumably "in a hurry?"
So I didn't have to wait in line
three men in uniform
is it for the army
watched me fill up my cup
did they think I was stealing?
who would steal that coffee anyway
because it tastes like hot piss
most of the time, mixed
with cream and sugar
walking with it in my hand forces drips
out of the oval mouth hole of
the lid onto the surface and
I feel obliged to lick it even
though now it tastes like
cold piss mixed with cream and sugar

in other news
i must be suffering from seasonal depression. or maybe i am wallowing in the fact that 95% of the people my housemates and i invited to our neighborhood potluck did not show up.
the confusing part about this situation is that we are all pretty good party planners, and we were offering free dinner. So... why not show up?
my approaching life
I've been so overwhelmed these past few months about so many different things. I guess right now the only thing that i have to be overwhelmed about is that i am going to graduate in 4 months.
because then what in the world am I going to do?

daughters
daughters of Jerusalem
becoming our mothers.
fasting from affection
we write our hearts in letters
that no one will see.
daughters of Jerusalem
hold fast to your body
(the wellspring of life)
be warm and not cold
a home to everyone
daughters of Jerusalem
living outside
breathing in words
to keep us from speaking
please make me a treasure
to be held in wonder
to be cherished and loved
make me a woman
who is wise and slow to act
so that I can be straight in you
and soft in heart
