How to Get Through Hard Times

There’s no way to avoid life’s cruel, incessant lashings. Here’s what you do when difficult times descend:

• You carefully examine the rubble of your cookies. Your immediate thought is that you could never overcome this woeful obstacle.
• You put the cookies out of your sight for 35 seconds.
• You can’t get the cookies out of your mind. Your immediate thought is this is an unacceptable position to be in and dammit, you’re a strong woman who’s over come unexpected cracker crumbles and apple mush.
• You search your mind and soul.
• Endless time passes. Perhaps upwards of 15 seconds.
• And then. Your eye catches the box of tissue on the corner of your desk.
• You take your package back out and excitedly dump the destruction of your cookies on your tissue.
• You pick through the rubble and eat what you can, savoring every sweet bite.
• You say, “fuck the rest” and expertly through the tissue and cookie grains away. You don’t need that shit. Now you can get back to the full-fledged, good-time cookies still waiting for you.

    You and your cookies have a relationship I could never understand.

    You have 11,994 hits on your website. I think you should write a poem about whoever is lucky number 12,004.

    they are them good. took me more than a year to find my favourite one here in munich. but i still search and try when ever i see something new or unfamiliar on the shelves. fuck it. there are just too many supermarkets here and they all have different brands,

    medicatedlady,

    i’ve now moved my ass to wordpress, as suggested by dhyan. heh.
    its now poemsandgoldfish.wordpress.com
    i’m excited about the new domain, although this is taking up too much of my time and distracting me from essay-writing.
    check out the new site! PS. what is “subscribe to feed?” i’ve subscribed to your feed but i don’t entirely understand the concept. is it somewhat like “following” on blogspot?
