JUST ENJOYING IT

 

I was so miserable

correcting my novel

oh God

I never thought

it would be so hard

I'm so tired

So exhausted

I never thought of this part

What an idiot

I never learn

Then I discovered new voices

Wet Leg

Rhian and Hester

Carlos Fuentes speaking in D.F. in 2001

Cortázar about how the stories already exist

He just had to write them

And the young writers who make videos

about how to spel tschek

How NOT to write a novel

I just started LAUGHING

pretty soon I'd shaken off the blues.

Today I'm reviewing my notes

on how to avoid using commas (in Spanish, natch)

and other shit

I just love listening to Wet Leg

They are legit, talented

the best is how they just had FUN

they didn't even expect anybody to listen

THAT'S IT

RIGHT THERE

I won't expect anybody to read

what I wrote.

I'll enjoy correcting it.

                                                 Is it fun? Is this a vibe?

                                                        Is it love?

                                                             Hello, 999

                                                What's your emergency?
                                                            Well, the thing is
                                                                     I, I, I, I, I
                                I'm in love

                                                                            Oh, I'm in love
                                            And you're to blame
                                                                 Yeah, I'm in love
                                               And you're to blame
