I woke up trimming my bangs
putting crushed peppers in my eyes
feeling my feelings
I lived through the weekend by writing
all my feelings on pictures of Lady Gaga
and getting a pedicure in iridescent pink
I'll probably really like somebody again someday
even if I don't want to.
The length of the title adds some complexity to the poem I would not have otherwise noticed.
ReplyDeleteThe initial use of past tense gives the poem a sense of an inability to let go of something, while the final line shows a sense of anxiety about the future. Perhaps it's just a verification that the feeling will continue in the future.
The first 3 stanzas feel like a "story" which fits with the title.
The last line seems to slip out of the story mode & get straight down to the "feelings."
A smooth flowing confessional poem.
woops i meant. respond to the poem With a poem but this is also good.
