finding the right place to start
is this the right file?
i think i've spent an hour looking for my introduction.
apologies, i think i was supposed to start this one off with
dear diary, hello hearty, how you doing today, teach says
a letter's supposed to be like a conversation with yourself but
it would be great if i could gander at the grading scheme
shit.
that was two directories ago.
if i could figure out where she stowed away all of your
characterizing features, fifty adjectives finally filed in
alphabetical, alphanumerical, it's just alphaheretical,
order--i'm slowly cascading down every file folder--
to be able to put you in order, i would be asleep by
did i delete that one?
if i left your bastardized brother unsaved, she's not getting
any assignment in by tomorrow. give me a letter to write,
right, and we'll both just end the hour knowing you're staying
burried in our graceless graveyard of patronizing paragraphs
'cause you've overflowed onto the other odesseys of overdone
wait.
is this the right file?
