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.
