picture this:
i have an aversion to poetry, but an even greater hatred for doomscrolling. i take the greatest shower of my life, throw on my fluffy, emerald robe, and lay down in bed.

i could scroll, or i could read. this poetry book has been sitting next to my bed for weeks. i grab a pencil (a god damn wooden pencil) and begin annotating. i get six poems in before i am absolutely floored.

i like poetry.
