Notes About The Poem

why?

(a story in Senryus)

I can’t figure out
why everything doesn’t
happen like I want.

I brush my teeth and
floss regularly, I wash
my roommates dishes,

I am generous,
I don’t run in the hallways,
I do my homework.

I support pizza
places, Amazon - I spur
the economy

semi-sleepless night
no worries, but tossing with
no sleep - what’s with that?

My health app says I
slept three hours, four minutes.
I’m low on toothpaste.

five-thirty AM
Lisa and I ran four miles
on the gym treadmills

Banana/ peanut
butter/ cacao/ oat milk/ chia
seed breakfast smoothie.

I've been in love with
styling dresses, layered
over flared jean pants.

My first look was a
tulle dress over sequined jeans
and tan kitten heels.

The winter hook-up
scene is in full swing - not for
me, I’m like second base.

I just lay around,
in sad, unfettered, boredom
- a crying shoulder

for others, I’m not
a skanky whore, like [censored]
- try penicillin - ß??ç?

Since, as you can see,
I am, for all intents and
purposes - perfect.

I can’t figure out
why everything doesn’t
happen like I want.

Webster: Unfettered: not controlled or restricted

ß??ç? is NOT a word, it’s a set of Greek symbols - if you read something in them, well, that’s just coincidental, isn’t it?

David Kavanagh February 4, 2024 at 5:03 AM You know Anais, I’m sure all the gods and goddesses in the universe ask themselves this very question at some point in time, great penning in senryu format, of course I like the coincidental one best, dark humour oozes off the page, cheers David Anais Vionet February 4, 2024 at 6:16 PM Dark chocolate, dark tea, dark cherry pie, dark chicken curry, dark roast coffee and dark humor - yum! =]
