Every now and then

It’s been a while since—

Say what, now? Yeah yeah yeah, it has been a while since I posted. Let’s chalk it up to 2020 and say no more about it.

As I was saying, it’s been a while since I—

What? Yes, I know nearly 2 years between posts is not entirely out of the ordinary for me, but I really think last year would’ve been different if not for the pande—you know what, no. Like I said, we’re going to blame 2020 and move on, ok? Thank you.

Apologies, but the internal monologue has gotten really insistent after a year and a half of *waves hands in a gesture that suggests that everything is, both figuratively and sometimes literally, on fire*.

So, as I was saying, it’s been a while since I wrote—much less whispered into the void (i.e. shared online) a little bad poetry! See, poetry is on the short list of things I suck at but enjoy doing anyway. It isn’t the type of writing that usually comes to me and “regrettably must insist that I write it right now, please and thank you”—I’m more of a “complete scene with no apparent context“ kind of girl. But, or maybe because, the urge is rare, I try to go with it when it strikes. Sort of like the urge to update the blog!

Anyway, thanks to Mina for the conversation that inspired this bout of bad poetry fever.

* Off the top of my head, that list includes poetry, bowling, and… Honestly that’s about it. Off the top of my head, at least.
