Sorry for the radio silence. It be like that sometimes. I was feeling a little cuckoo bananas and not very productive. Alas, you’re not getting rid of me that easy. Perhaps advice columns twice a week was a little too ambitious. I think it’s something I still wanna keep up, but more of a special treat than every meal, ya know?
So, instead, you’ll get a mix of advice columns, poetry, essays, whatever I feel like. I hope you enjoy, but of course this is more for me than it is for you.
For today’s post, I hope you enjoy a poem I wrote:
Rain Check
hi
i know i keep putting off our plans
but i just realized
i need to take a rain check
i’m sorry
i forgot
someone has to change the litter
and refill the water bowl
for my cats
if i don’t do it no one will
i need to clean my room
and try that new recipe
and finish my gossip girl rewatch
i’m sorry to reschedule again
i promise i want to see you
i really do
i just
i have too much to get done right now
i have to see how long my hair can grow out
i have to lay on the beach
i have to lose my keys
and my wallet
and my mind
i have to take mushrooms and cry
thinking about how much beauty there is in this world
i have to laugh loudly and obnoxiously
because i know how much my friends love to hear it
i have to find the best stick in the park and play fight until the sun goes down
when i’m done with all that, i have to fuck
i have to discover all the magnificent ways to join two bodies
or three or four or five
maybe we can see each other next month
or next year
i think about you all the time
there’s so much i need to get done before i can see you
but i promise i want to
i really really want to
we’ll make time soon
not right now
there’s just
so much to do
so much to see
so much to feel
can we take a rain check?
Btw, I have a show tonight. Hope I can see you there.
I love you,
Ái Vy
