Notes About The Poem

The universe is rubbing me wrong this week - and it's only Tuesday.


 

Boom

I’m overthinking,
tired of the endless waiting,
about to blow up.

Even my mom sees it.
She starts some cutting remark
only to pull it back.

Me: "Argh! I have this anger, just below the surface."
My brother: "Uhh, it's not that far below the surface."

So many motivations to assert one's preferences in youth which matter not one whit in old age! Aloha! Rico

So.. What does that mean? You don't assert your preferences? Wow, I want to go to a Chinese resteraunt with YOU =]

So real and perfect. I have so many volumes to learn about style and conciseness. Teach on!

What is making you angry, my friend, why is the universe rubbing you wrong? Perhaps the stars will align for you soon. In one of your poems or stories you said girls tend to overthink and guys don't think...maybe you should take a cue from us. I hope your week gets better. :)

I saw your message - about reading my short stories - thank you =] It caused me to glance over them and the one called "something new" had SO many errors - sorry. There's no direct way, in short story comments to reply back - how odd - so, thanks again - you helped me fix that story. I was thinking of moving two of them into the poetry category (Asymptotic & Something new).
