i make sure that every poem i write
is less than a 100 words,
lest google thinks i’m trying too hard,
perhaps even judging me too harshly,
as it’s wont to do
it’s not difficult for me to understand
how little i comprehend,
all i need to do is read an article about general relativity
and i will be at a loss
it was cold this morning,
as it remains cold this afternoon,
i’m having a difficult time typing these thoughts out,
because my fingers are frozen to the keyboard,
and i’m kinda curious as to what seal blubber might taste like,
but i’ve never met a seal,
so i don’t really know their personality type
