metacognition
a diversity of…
some opinions
whatever fits in my
shrinking mind
single track when I’m
talking to you
it feels nice to not
think so much
I see so many things,
and I only smell my stale breath
focal point for my
meditations
pet the cat and
envy the bird
write a schedule and ignore it
for just another day
taxonomize emotions and
learn to understand the
world that you have been
given

author’s note:
not much to say about this one. I really like the word “taxonomize.” every time before I use it, I search it up to see if it’s a real word. there’s a whole rant to be ranted about “real words,” but for poetry it’s important you’re understood. I like the two-line stanzas this ended up having.
oh, also, the first stanza is from a line I cut out from Rival (local quarterly zine) and made into a button. the button is sitting in front of me right now.
Love the diction in this
Love “pet the cat and envy the bird”
