Plans

Planning

Every day

Every chance that is given

Scheduling

Organizing RSVPs

Bugging people to respond.

Talking to the caterer -

We can have bourekas after all -

And studying

Writing the speech

Studying more

And more

And more.

Trying to revive the wilted playlist

Making lists on docs of supplies

Of the food we want

On

And on

And on

Nonstop planning

For something that I never wanted.

  • Underwater

    Underwater

    it's nearly silent

    incredibly quiet

    all sharp sounds softened by the waves.

    Underwater

    all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur

    bearable for once.

    Underwater

  • Ad Astra

    Ad astra

    Latin for to the stars

    something that we've never done yet

    but we've gone near.

    We've never gone to the stars

    we've reached the not-quite-emptiness that surrounds them.

  • Anticipating

    I don't know what this is

    whether it's summer really sinking in

    or if it's something else

    something more

    something worse.

    I don't want to turn into this

    a puddle of negative feelings and boredom.
