Three Poems

—
Crow Jonah Norlander
Going to Try to Have a Good Day
craving something elemental
like an egg
there just has to be
a part of the day
that I’m not trying
to solve problems
this muscle milk pro
has 40 grams of protein
seems like a lot
this new lead-free protein
shake tastes terrible
I’ve eaten ~3.06 gallons
of yogurt this month
logging my flu shot
on my fitness pal
what do you mean
you don’t track everything
you put
into your body
fantasizing about large
portions of my phone
screen becoming
unusable
it’s cold again outside
so I start to hoot and holler
❊
Eye Test
reading a book
that’s making me think
you can just write a book
about anything I guess
turned on some league pass game
and it’s a brickfest
reading dates
as statlines
reading a book and thinking
“inscrutable, five stars”
I haven’t read
nearly enough books
❊
Taking Care of Myself Can Be Annoying
challenging myself lately
not to be bored by trivialities
would like to be doing something
different than what I’m doing
not forever
just for a little while
lately I’ve been standing up
on my way to go do something
but then getting stuck
just lingering
I feel like I should
be doing something

Crow Jonah Norlander has no special training, as far as he knows.
