blah blah blah
I’m known for my craft, resting bitch face, and calmness.
I’m afraid of frogs, drawn to foxes, and still undecided about pigeons.
I challenge unclear briefs, my own ideas, and the voice in my head.
I used to surf, be a satay chef, and think Trump would never be president.
I’m not into small talk, small bags, and thinking small.
I appreciate some order, stray cats, and strangers who say hello.
I’m unlikely to borrow a library book, grow any taller, or become conceited.
I admire intelligent life forms, mealy bugs, and kind people.
I never want to work for assholes, be cruel, or sing karaoke.
I believe in great ideas, gut health, and social distancing.
