Goblin Girl
My hair is unruly,
I don't like my teeth.
I haven't seen my debit card
in three ******* weeks.
If I'm not early,
I'll be ******* late.
"Just be on time"—
my brain doesn't work that way.
I did three loads of laundry,
yet have four to fold.
I planned to make a salad
but the lettuce has mold.
The lettuce has mold?
The lettuce has mold.
I swear I just bought it,
I didn't think it was old.
What day is it?
Do you know the time?
I can't find my keys
but I'm thinking in rhymes.
Did you tell me the date?
I'm sorry—I forget.
I'm sure that you did.
I just haven’t remembered it yet.
A mile a minute
is how my mind goes.
Do you want to rearrange the living room?
Should we go to Lowe’s?
These boxes I found
haven’t been opened in ages.
I found an old journal
and sped through the pages.
I should throw it away
but I think I might keep it.
It’s treasured this way,
and no one learns my secrets.
I’m sorry I’m on a tangent,
did we have plans?
I’m sorry to abandon,
I live in my head man
I’ve got so much to do,
I couldn’t possibly go out.
Have you seen my bathroom?
I must clean the grout.
You can stay if you want,
in fact, I’d like that very much,
if you don’t mind my gibberish
and constant running amuck.
Is there cure to this chaos?
Am I forever lost?
Neglecting everything,
Until its covered in moss.
