Use Your Grief

I use my grief 

To watch the new Wes Anderson.

I use my grief

To eat cake on the street.

I use my grief 

To simply exist.


I went from 25

With the speed of a dream,

A lifetime ago, Kendra Jean,

Has turned into

The tiny time of my life.


Maybe there is a meaning to this,

To keep telling the story.

It could be the dumbest retrofuturistic

Experiment ever

Or it could be the greatest metatexual poem

In the history

Of whatever the hell this is.


I use my grief 

To not waste grace.
