Nothing in common
Fishing polls, bait, lunch and we’re off.
Driving down a country road
the sun is shining,
music is playing on the car radio.
I’m thinking to myself about how much
I hate you, more everyday
I begin to daydream...
—I don’t wanna go fishing today
I wanna go to the Boston Aquarium instead
meet the new octopus, see the sharks & rays
walk to the hahbah, drink in the view
maybe see a humpback whale or two.”
“Hey! did you hear me He said ?”
“ Huh__wha___?
—Yeah sure, you can have a few
but please, not this time. “
—Nah,
I’ll be fine.

Hello my people :) please don’t be alarmed by the picture associated with this poem, it’s just that’s how I’m feeling right now. I don’t think I would ever really do that but then again, knowing my psychotic ass I just might lol Also this is about a selfish alcoholic in denial knowing damn well he’s sick. And the changes I’m dealing with knowing I have to remove myself from this chaotic and toxic relationship...

Dear J,
Firstly, I love the picture with this write! Absolutely brilliant! I’m currently trying to blow it up so I can stencil it on my favorite shirt!
As for the poem, well i am sorry. This is a difficult situation and topic to comment on. Only to say, I guess, that I’m sorry for this. No one deserves to be stuck in this rock and this hard place. It’s awful and it’s lonely. Not to mention scary and unsettling. I wish you a resolution that will bring you peace. I can’t leave without saying how much I admire your candor in addressing your feelings so openly. I’m sure this can’t be easy and if it’s any consolation it’s very helpful as many of us can relate. My final thoughts are your formatting. I’ve tried the directions you sent. I’m clearly doing something wrong because mine only came out slanted not pretty like this. I’ll try it again but I’m not holding my breath this time. H 🌷

Lmao the t-shirt! Hilarious !
Oh yeah it’s a motherfucker! Especially if you’re editing on your phone. All I can say is click full Edit first: then highlight all your text ( if you can at the same time ) ugh! Lol then touch new Roman as the font, then click save. Hit edit like you’re gonna edit your poem, Then click full options again, highlight and do the slant. And then lastly make sure you center your poem and pay attention to the gaps between each paragraph full of stanzas.
Also make sure you do all your writing and editing before you posted in the center! Eeek! because if you notice you need to go back and edit it’s gonna fuck up the whole placement which in that case you can just take it out of center and go left and keep the slant and the Roman font ! If you have any more problems PM Bluevelvete she’s really good at
Thanks for adding such thoughtful comments and the reading list

Ps if you’re finding your text is too long to highlight all at once, you’re gonna have to do it in sections like I have to do, it’s a bitch when using your iPhone or android, I am unable to access (select all) and am forced to use the copy option😑 which fucks up the highlight if it’s too much text, well for people like me anyway who aren’t that tech savvy

A grand riot of emotion told with candor and realism. Getting out of that relationship will be a new beginning I am sure. You have moxie, my friend. Your courage will see you through. Once you make the transition life will be happier. And just think of the exhilarating feeling you will have once your divorce is complete. I know someone who said their divorce was worth every penny.
