Today/yesterday

I was kind to me

I treated myself to an early morning shower

Two pieces of bacon

Told myself it wasn't my fault those interviewees failed

I stopped working half an hour early

Looked at my easel

Said I didn't need to stay up late to do more painting

In the grand supreme anyway

We're all just essences of stardust stuck in a lifer's unit 

I didn't need to apply for that writing challenge today

I can afford to give myself a break from dating apps

I switched off the TV

To stop my cycle of switching from one screen to another 

Always online in digital mist

I opened my new book

Brushed my teeth and put in my retainers

I rested

I wrote this poem
