The question marks the spot❓
I’ve walked the hallways
of my past so frequently
my footsteps have polished the floors.
The present is as homogenous
as Yoplait, and the future is,
to challenge Ms. Bedingfield’s
evaluation, actually unwriteable.
What am I learning?
Who will we be?
Are these questions helpful?
Unclench whatever questions
you’re holding too tightly today,
so your hand is open
when the answers come to perch.
I wrote a version of this note a year ago today. It’s funny to think how I saw myself at that time—worn out and at the end of my rumination, like I couldn’t possibly dig any further into my mind. As if eight weeks was a lifetime. HAH. Well the good news is, I’m now on the other side of dose #2 and feeling optimistic. Things do change, even if it’s on a different timeline than you’d prefer.
