still trying to figure out what possessed me to write such an abomination

dear susan,

don't even bother reading the poem i submitted today.  it was bad.  to be honest, i spent 10 minutes on it.  i thought it was good, a bout of inspiration.  and then i re-read it.  and re-read it again.  and every time i read it, it got worse.  as i'm writing this my cheeks are turning red with embarrassment at the fact that you're going to read it.   and your ta's too.  can we just pretend like i didn't submit it and i'll put the revised "a" edition in my portfolio in 2 weeks?
  cause let's be honest, any poem that begins with,
"in the spring of divorce"
...well, that line alone already has so many things wrong with it.

thanks,
kelli jean
peace+love
