crossed minds
1m | Aug 27, 2023You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
Why can’t you make up your mind?
Rain has been crumbling
inside my home for three
and a half weeks,
wanting to know
every inch
of it as if they were hired
to renovate the early 1800s home.
“Sorry for the mess,” I say
as The Endless Well walks in
with a slightly crooked smile.
“No worries,” she says
as she takes off her shoes,
then walks in
as if dead roaches
scattered around the entryway.
The house is nearly empty.
The clock ticks and tocks
on the wall. My mind
is surprisingly clean.
The Endless Well sits on the black leather couch.
You should change the trajectory of your career.
You should begin working on the short story collection.
Maybe you’re doing
something
wrong in your career.
You should change the genre of your podcast.
You should stack your schedule.
How about starting a new poetry collection?
You should quickly release a series.
The Endless Well spits
out her words like
a poisonous snake
sinking its teeth
into the ankle
of an unsuspecting adult
sitting in the sand
as they stare into the distance.
Then she leaves.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
