Poems Behaving Badly

Written by

Sonnet 28 is a pain in the arse. I don’t even remember what I wanted to say. It’s just sitting there staring at me! Bad poem! Bad! With about 95% of my poems, the words just flow out of me effortlessly – sometimes I can’t write fast enough. Others, it’s like they don’t want to be written! Very annoying!

It’s Friday, yo, and BONUS! It’s a long weekend!

On my way home yesterday I saw this installation in the lobby of a nearby building.

Our Fete by Curtia Wright

🎶
‘Cause I feel like fallin’ in love
I’m in the mood to fuck somethin’ up
… Don’t miss this roll-call
Is you here or what?
Show up, show up
You Mr. Nasty, I’ll clean it up
🎶

(I feel I know what she’s talking about.
I ain’t cleaning up a motherfucker!!)
B – Cuff It

At the moment, I have nothing to fuck up or down or with; I’m working on it though!

Cabbagetown Neighbourhood

There is a Japanese restaurant/grocery store in Cabbagetown: Kingyo Fisherman’s Market. They sell vacuum-packed ramen. The sauce and all the ingredients are in one convenient package. All you do is throw it in a pot, and in about 10 minutes, you have restaurant-fresh ramen. Yum!

That’s my hand if you’re wondering

Instagram Shit

Sometime last week, I sent the image above to Dee, and I’m all excited thinking I got this grid colour shit figured out. And they reply…

What you have there is more content planning … It’s cool to have a post pattern, but the visual consistency is missing

I thought I was going for visual consistency 😭

After I sent that message, I wondered if I could put a filter on everything but no. Back to the Instagram grid drawing board! Since it’s the long weekend, I’m hoping to figure it out then I can put my first post up next week. And BTW: I am working on another Classified Aids. AND I have our next tyrant lined up.

Looking forward to tomorrow, I am – Current plans are to chill in a cafe somewhere with a writing friend, and we will work on our own projects for a few hours – then I am going to dinner with Sharon and a few of my long-time friends.

Enjoy the weekend with the extra day, which makes it an extended weekend. Yay!

I feel like we’ll talk again, but you know me and my inconsistency. Hey! If I am inconsistent, then shouldn’t my grid be inconsistent, too?

Can I pet that dog? lol
