(A predictive-text poem)
in Sydney on Saturdays
the void gazes back
I have no idea what I’m doing
I drank seven beers
and I am honestly so happy
that you’re so confident in your wrong opinions
the void is too powerful
for a writer I am not going to be
a writer when you get here
we can catch up on my way home
my phone and I don’t have much more
than a week
message you tomorrow
I’m doing okay I just wanted to let you know
that I have no idea what I’m doing
