his day and week off
waits before there’d be a bell
how can i say no?

pi day a success
although she tries to wreck it
doesn’t understand

(the lure of baked goods
can’t be wantonly handed
to palette-less grunts)

my interview fails
but why would i waste my time
on a blurred vision?

must. pass. Spanish test.
first? awards ceremony
(at least she’s honored)

then, family dinner
and Spanish happy hour
to close my chaos

never a moment
without a need, a desire
all for them, for us
