The Poetic Diary of a College Student: Part One
You have four hundred unread emails and zero idea what building you need to be in. Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking

Finding Radical Joy
In another world, I am afraid in somebody's basement, surrounded by the blink of purple strobe lights. My heart thumps erratically. The 2010s are so forgettable.

How Would You Rate Your Pain?
"On a scale of 1 to 10. . ." How bad is my pain? I can't tell you that on a measured scale. Words like "achey" and "throbbing" and "burning" don't do it justice. There's no room on your intake sheet for how the pain feels like a rogue squirrel in my hip, or like an elephant pressing on my tailbone. There are no words to describe how I'll feel when the next round of injections fails again, or how one tiny area of my body robs me of joy and pleasure and security and concentration.
