I did not enjoy the poem. I could literally be doing anything else. I could be knitting. I could be doing dishes. I could be going to the bathroom. I could be staring at my hands. Maybe I’m just a curmudgeon. Is it because I’m sleeping better, maybe? My grogginess may have been holding me back. It did not hold my attention, halfway through I zoned out and started doing other things, any things to be honest.
