Bad: A Bitter List

sunday night and too much caffeine for no reason at all
(i am full of bad ideas).
jittery and pissed off at a semester of spanish three homework
(someone else's bad idea).
email to ex-boyfriend is returned with unusual curtness
(i assume this means something bad).
friend's new boyfriend is a decade older
(i try not to assume this is bad).
best friend left for a semester in london on saturday
(before my bad (sun)day).
credit card bill is over a thousand dollars
(suddenly i'm a bad spender).
two weeks in and no fingernails left
(another bad habit to break).
want to go to an artists' colony and sleep and sleep and sleep
(no bad dreams).

we can at least write journal entries poeticall & thanks for this beginning of the year vent. I'v been meaning to update the blog, but blah, & days pass.

the parenthasis are what do the work for me in this one. It's a special commentary track on the passing of lives events holding the cynical rift together with the repition of bad. it becomes a conversation. my favorite line is (before my bad (sun)day).
