it’s an absolutely exquisite day to be November 2nd and I’m feeling effortlessly normal and zen! what if I told you I had “beach waves” right now? I’m laughing laughing in my overpriced linen sheets. okay! I just put the kettle on the stove to feel British for a second, but now I’m back at my computer once again feeling consumed by my very American Anxiety (ok memoir title AF). with the election looming, I will be spending most of the evening doing this:
I am also trying a new tea made from valerian root! “sure why not?” – me as I walk through the market and believe everything each package tells me. I voted last week (famously in this chic mask by Kadette)
so tomorrow I’m going to walk around until I can’t think, talk to a new psychic (you have to love it) and think about doing yoga until it’s time for my fourth hot bath of the day. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane and cozy. stay sexy, stay little, stay email. love u dearly. here’s some poems:
Poem I Wrote Last Week & Forgot to Post & Am Posting Today Because I Am Not Feeling Particularly Inventive This Evening
I’m paying 90 euros to talk to a woman
in the south of France about betrayal
she mentions free radicals
“everyone knows about those”
she asks if I’m drinking enough water
I wish that were the problem
remember when you wanted more
free time?Poem About My Youth
I used to have a lucky
low-rise thong and vodka
in my vitamin water
Mitchell says one of my spirit guides
is named Jocelyn which we both think is funny
sometimes I eat until I’m so full that
I can’t think about anything else
cheers!Exercise Poem
of course everyone wants to know
how to play the piano
I remember when Dave bought that book
so he could teach himself
and then I made out with his roommate
when someone gets into jogging
that’s how you know they’re depressedTomorrow Poem
last night I had a dream I had sex
on top of a red pickup truck
in an American Flag Halter Dress
& then took a big shit in my hand
I wonder what will happen tomorrowbeep beep boop boop
I’m obsessed with my cloying psychiatrist
and putting my face over broth
it’s like a facial I say
out loud to no one
under the mask I’m wearing
to not get the famous disease
this one time I was sad about
an email on a boat
today I went to barnes & noble
to feel at peace & it worked
