trying to outsmart traffic//but still outplayed by big metal death machines

i woke up early to beat traffic today,
but the traffic still followed me,
so i’m thinking my next strategy is to sleep in
until traffic has died down,
that way i don’t have to work as long either

mail day//but not everyday

i don’t check my mail everyday, but that’s because what comes in the mail is super underwhelming,
unless it’s like a day like today,
in which i got an 8oz sample of some nyeri hill kenyan sl-28 anaerobic processed coffee
that was roasted in the netherlands,
in which i’d have to say, it’s been a good mail day today

poetry time

i’ve been trying to figure out when the best time
for poetry in a day is,
like the best time to write poetry,
and then the best time to read poetry,
but i can’t seem to reach a conclusive
part of the day, so i suppose poetry is just random,
though it kinda seems lazy to say
