Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Another week down. And what a week it was.

I observed Yom Kippur. I started rebuilding the Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) at the school I work at. I finished my latest full-act play. I collaborated with a SPED teacher to run two PD sessions about adolescent psychology and building healthy social/emotional habits - that was pretty awesome. I participated in an open mic night with OK Zoomer.

Arden and I are still house hunting. OK Zoomer's Board of Directors is having its first official meeting on Sunday. I'm building up my costume arsenal because I'm a nerd. I'm already planning to write another short play for funsies. I have lots of grading to do.

Also, Trump has COVID-19. California is on fire again. It's Halloween time.

How are y'all holding up?

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
