Waste Your Life
Hand typed on to 6x6” recycled sturdy card stock
Waste Your Life
“You’re gonna waste your life”
gosh, I hope so
writing poems
when I should be working
playing Super Mario Kart
with my adhd kids
watching old movies
I know every word of
scrolling through memes
& laughing so hard
the people around me
demand to see them
praying for healing
that probably won’t come
protesting unjust systems
I can barely imagine changing
yes, I want to waste my life
like a cocktail of tears & perfume
cracked open from alabaster
