how lovely it is
to focus one's mind upon
a single goal,
the sound of neon
dropping into a plastic hole.
I almost made it. 12 days, 12 poems(ish). I wrote this last night, but didn't have internet. As a side note, I got the job I felt like I had such a bad interview. It is only 10 hours a week, but it's a start. It also leaves a lot of things very much up in the air. I long for that singular goal, but maybe if I go putt-putting on the weekends, I'll be able to wade through the confusion of it all. I'll be working with high schoolers as a professional encourager, which is a pretty sweet gig. I graduated from this particular high school seven and a half years ago. I feel like there are parts of my high school self God wants me to interact with, remember, and not fear. Those years were so hard for me. But now I get a chance to turn around and love high schoolers wherever they are at, which is so something God would do. He loves that redemption stuff.

Congrats on meeting your duodecimal goal! I like today's — it moves really nicely from line to line and the form is exquisite. And congrats on your new job! You'll be great at it.
