Introvert

Please get your face
away from my face

There have been faces everywhere
all day
and they have sucked out all my energy
and replaced it with pumpkin innards
and molasses

I need to huddle on my couch
and cry for five days
and I need
to do it now

How nice that you’re going
to a party later
but if I don’t read this book now
my life will be empty
and meaningless
and way too full of faces

Introversion

Here I am
seeing friends
doing the brunch thing
this is great
fun conversations
nice people
good food
now let’s wander around the streets a bit
so amusing
even the weather’s cooperating
here’s an ice cream place
yum
now more wandering
what a great day
look at me being social
I’m enjoying this so much
bye
everybody
hope to catch up with you soon
now I’ll go home
perfectly happy with that experience
and try to get some work done

Oh my God
I’m so tired
