this is not the post i was going to make but it is. que sera sera. (this is the title of a song by doris day which was covered by sly and the family stone and both versions are quite nice but i really like the sly and the family stone one. que sera sera means 'everything will be will be' according to the song but it actually doesn't mean that in any actual languages which is a disgusting act of fabrication but it's okay because the song is really sweet. it has that same warm hug feeling that a lot of movie songs have from that period like moon river which is another great song which i knew how to play on the piano until i didn't i'm not sure why i'm ranting like this about que sera sera it's just a good song which i like)

poem 1 (untitled)
i think sometimes
people try too hard to be deep
this is a funny thing to say
while writing a poem,
because poems are an avenue
for people who want to be deep
but some things just are
like my laundry basket
which sits there menacingly
i guess you could say it's sad,
that's thinking about it too much.
it just is. i'm sorry.

poem 2 (hypocrite (in relation to poem 1))
you will never get to know
even the things in front of your face
isn't that beautiful
press the lily to your face
and breathe
-------------------------------
hell on earth
the crickets are made out of glass
they make glass noises
balding men say "wohhhhhh"
"wohhhhhh, wohhh, wohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

wall of text
i went on this website as a kid
it was just a wall of text
it went on forever
and anyone could type on it
maybe it's still out there
an endless wall of slurs
and shitty stickmen
i had a conversation once
i think i made a friend.
you could scroll out into the abyss
but it got sparser as you went
eventually,
you were just the only one
i travel to places no one else goes
-------------------------------
font
i write my poem in notepad
i tried wordpad,
but i realized i could change the font
and i got stuck doing that
for a few minutes.
but that is okay
this is pedestrian
rudimentary and bounded
you cannot do many things
and that is okay
it is better to be a prisoner
than to be free
-------------------------------
those are my poems. i hope you liked them. happy 2023
