Emotional & Difficult (inspired by Cat Cohen)

I don’t know why people like to take

tests that amount to problems and

time and focus, but I’ll watch the struggle

on reality TV. I haven’t been eating ice cream

since Halloween! I still lay in bed some nights

thinking of her cookie crunch swirls. I’m only

a girl — for the love of the Cosmos, Neil deGrasse Tyson

captures my man’s eye more than my ass.

Something about how we’re all just specks;

it’s no wonder we magnify on small things.

To me, reality is when you bat your long lashes

and bear hug me in the morning.
