Fred Aiken Writing

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

indecisive decisions

i don’t know what to watch next,
i don’t know what to read next,
i’m uncertain of all the choices presented to me as an option,
so i suppose i might just sit in a corner
of a dark room where no one can find me,
just so long as you let me know when i can come out next

bathroom snacks

i kept finding empty bags of ranch doritos 
in the trash can of the shared bathroom at work,
which made me believe that one of my coworkers
could not go to the bathroom without having a snack,
and so i tried snacking while going to the bathroom myself,
and now i’m addicted to eating pretzels while on the john
