Alice Quinn put together a beautiful collection of poems and I’m so honored to be included alongside so many amazing poets that I love!!! I read through the whole thing this morning and felt so…MUCH. bizarrely nostalgic for early days of lockdown, devastated by the reality of how many people are suffering right now, hopeful for a different kind of world when we emerge, all the hits!

wait also should I get a teacup puppy? sound off in the comments and then read this week’s lil poems:
Poem I Wrote After I Deleted the StreetEasy App
If your microwave isn’t splattered with tomato sauce
You can’t fuck good I don’t make the rules
I stopped drinking for 13 days
Was going for 14 of course
But then I went out to dinner
Drinking used to be so fun
Crystal Light & vodka water bottles
Maybe I’ll kiss someone tonight
Lately I feel more at peace
Listening to my self-help book on Audible
She kind of goes off the rails at the end
And says she learned how to speak German
In her dreams but otherwise I liked the book
All I do is walk around Brooklyn
Looking at apartments
I need more space
For whatever it is
I’m trying to avoidPoem I Wrote After I Felt Emotions
I’m clipping my fingernails over the toilet
But most of the them are just going on the floor
And we all know I’m not going to pick them up
Is it frowned upon to microwave coffee?
I’m trying a new meal delivery service
That makes me not shit for a week
It’s very Gwyneth
It’s very moms picking up Bryson & Isabella
From carpool in athleisure
Our new Vice President wears athleisure I love her
The other day I just cried on the train
So hard and I wasn’t even drunk
And I wasn’t even sad
And no one even knew because I was wearing a mask
Because of the pandemic
A word that’s lost all meaning
Because I’ve been saying it over and over again since March
Try it say “window” say “door” 400 times
Say “success” over and over
Tell me it’s not just a soundPoem I Wrote After Attending a Winter Picnic
I think about sex less now that I’m heavily medicated
For my favorite girlies Depression & Anxiety
Is it working? Unclear
I’m still talking about journaling
More than I actually do it
On Thursday we went to the sex shop
I do have to share that
I now own one of those dildos
That looks like a real dick
Veins even I know
It was kind of a joke
But it definitely feels good
Thank god for pleasure
The sun sets at three

I think you really should get a teacup puppy. A cocker spaniel or king charles
