Little Black Dot

ask and it shall be yours
says the universe?
what?
georgia nichols says that this is the only time
the sun is opposite my sign
all year.
as a result
everyone thinks i'm awesome.
that's what the horiscope said.
and it's kind of true. it's manifesting itself
in small ways. at work, mostly,
but also at times like these...
and mostly it just means more responsibilities,
more deadlines, more arbitrary blue boxes
on the summer work plan
excel spreadsheet.
but at times like these it means
me, high and
alone
in my apartment with nothing
to do except get
distracted from this blog post
a hundred times
