Dear Poetry,
It’s been far too long since I’ve written you
and the reason I know this is because you’ve been banging on my door
everyday now for the past three months saying
“Where have you been?”
But I have been too busy dying over a job that couldn’t care less
if I walked out onto the streets and laid in the crosswalk.

polaroids showcased in
empty exhibitions).
and it's futile

your remnants
(because all
graveyards need
ghosts to
haunt them).

I'm late at spotting this (even more misalignment) but I'm glad I have now. Succinct but god this speaks volumes.
