My third favorite

Set of stairs and I share some

Langston Hughes poems

30

channel lorraine or
someone in my bloodline as
one ear loses sound

29

Woah. What if I stop
thinking I fail my body
by living in it?

28

It's a good a day
As any to listen to
Third Eye Blind's debut

27

Eat too much sugar
And a long drive home and I
kinda want to hurl.

26

My salad bar lunch
Was almost twenty bucks but
I justify it

25

One hundred degrees
And I'm drinking hot toddys
And feeling alright

24

I realize I
Can't do it all and now know
That I don't want to

23

Pour dollars down drain.
And by drain, I mean trash, we
Throw new goods away.

22

An old friend wakes me
Despite my excitement we
Dive back into sleep

21

I feel tall. And strong.
Not quite unafraid but I
Do count on myself.

20

It's a chill inside
I'm wrestling and closing in
On the core of it

19

An office again
Small skylight lets day peak in

I barely notice

18

she let's me fixate
I needed a lake, we drove
and I got in one

17

hot springs star gazing
and my thoughts slow, my soul rests
control limits me

16

Grind teeth to pain and
I can't chew food, caused by
Dream of plane crashing

15

Feel my body need
Fewer people, less work, sleep
Make a kind gesture

14

Energy passes
I feel it as shoulders lean
(More would be too much)

13

Sunrise and sunset
Did I think of the earth as
We worked? I did not.

12

Driving, then waiting.
And forgetting that my time
Makes up my labor.

9

say, "I'm someplace else"
and hear my voice through my ears,
but muted, distant.

8

Sick and it's a joke

As body and I argue

About what's too much

7

Squish laundry between
Work and work, drink hot toddy,
Walk home from movie

6

Realization
About myself from how I
react to respect.

5

She calls cilantro
A vegetable, I accept
(Kind of a stretch though)

4

...and I'm tired again
...on the bus wishing it was
an airplane instead.

3

Spend time catching up.
We are all gonna die as
we kill each other.

2

Just shook Kendrick's hand
in the moment it felt small
Talent surrounds us

1

Now when I'm on set
I know who to find and what
To tell them about
