Poetry from the Creek: Stella Ingrid

And so Stella Ingrid, enervated at prospect of

buying birthday presents for herself using her

own pre-paid credit card, then wisely stashes

said plastic where she knows it’ll be safe and

disremembers the exact location - it is saying

you’re a member of th’ same family where we

find ourselves detailed in predisposition - and

forget respondency to be the ‘moment’s fun’

So last-minute decisions run amok don’t they;

when you’re freed to think things thru on your

own at your frenetic pace, pressing of buttons

on key isn’t an harmonic you’d tune to; & tho’

you are still assured a role or chorus-part on-

stage - surely you’ll want to play it your way
