half an hour before class

curry with overly thick soup, check
mixed a bunch of pepper, and a handful of chili powder, check
that was two or so hours past
and it's over
like all calmness of indifference
when I got caught between two unknowns

one was nice, the thought of losing it was
painful
two were a mistake
a dreadful one

nice music online, check
class materials, check
that has nothing to do with half of me
anxious, sleepy, half conscious
wandering through the torturing unknowns
by Todaro or Smith or Toynbee
or whoever
or whatever

one was brilliance, the thought of losing it was
a sorrow
two were gorgeous
mistake
