weather report

the weather report said it would not rain today,
so i did not bring my umbrella,
though i got complacent and forgot to check the weather report for tomorrow,
because i did not bring my umbrella yet again,
and as you can imagine,
i’m drenched

the dreaded dentist appointment

i have a dentist appointment tomorrow,
i sure hope that i remember to charge my phone,
i’m not sure what one has to do with the other,
but i can’t help but feel like the only way to have clean teeth in this world,
is to ensure the energy bar on my phone is above 90% when
i see my dentist

futility in font

i like to write my poems in different fonts to keep me on my toes,
even though the only person that reads them as i write is me,
and i don’t really care all that much about what the font is,
so i’m pretty sure that constantly changing the fonts on myself
is one of the most useless endeavors ever pursued
