Survival

I write to-do lists for survival.

If I organize every step of the way
every moment of my life
maybe the little boxes with my backwards lefty checks will help this life move faster to where I want to go?
Maybe I can climb the check marks to tomorrow or next month or next year?

I am beginning this life anew.
I have no knowledge.
Nothing to offer

Except my genuine. My honesty.

I'm not sure how to write or speak or express
I'm not sure of much at all

Except a need to write and speak and express

Ah what a dilemma, love.

P.S. You said this would make me feel better. Tell the audience your truth. No hiding. On stage with bare skin and eyes like glass. Repeat.
