afternoon poem
i feel like if i used a typewriter, i wouldn’t have imposter syndrome
i don’t want to lose weight to be hotter
i just want to smoke cigarettes
without having a panic attack
my mom says i should go on ozempic
i ask her if she’s happy
twenty nine is the ugliest age
i want to be thirty two or nineteen
drinking a gin and tonic isn’t interesting
anywhere in between
my biggest regret in life
is feeling guilty for wearing heels
i wasted my best years
writing papers on the male gaze
when i could have been writing
about nice paintings or fucked up sex
today i told my doctor
someone’s wife put a curse on me
my hair is thinning out
and i deserve it.
