This is just to say
by William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

You are seminal American modernist poet WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS.
Go play some Satie on the gramophone, pet the cat and then eat some plums.
Was a humerous take on the poem, I adore!

One exercise that i do when im feeling anxious about my life decisions is to imagine myself in the future telling the story about my life now.
see if the story im telling makes sense, not if its a good story or a bad story, but if makes sense.
the catch is that it always does.
