The melting poet
I don't know what I am doing with poetry.
I don't know why I can't write this looong essay that's already overdue.
I will miss my boyfriend when he goes away for three weeks to Florida.
I have to arrange a job interview this week, sign my tax forms, arrange an out-of-province application for school, buy cat food, buy people food, finish my laundry, pay my car registration (that is 8 months overdue. I dread the late fees), send a thank-you letter for my recent bursary award, send a thank-you letter for my recent English essay award, reformat my computer (damn virus), exercise (it's been a month!), re-sole my shoes (kidding), redo resume for job interview Wednesday, work for professor at least 6 hours by Friday, feed the cats, refill bird feeders on back patio, send in passport application, return library books, mail dress to 6-month old niece, arrange appointments to rent room by next SUNDAY.
I can do it. I am a melting poet.

Hey Susannah! Where the heck are you? I've got some lovely photos of our dancing together in the kitchen (if you remember...).
Don't know Leanne. what program? I'm doubling in Classics and Poetry.
Great to hear from you--look me up if in Montreal!
