Distraction
I left this page about 24 times while writing this.
Damn it,
I missed another Vocal challenge deadline!
Same thing happened last month,
Twice the month before.
Really, it's my own fault.
All I needed to do was set a reminder,
Check my to-do list and set time aside.
This poem is a distraction from another challenge,
Its deadline is in five hours!
Only six hours until I need to get up for work,
Never mind, let's write.

Balloons and a parade and shit
They say things happen when you're not looking for them. Falling in love, making a new friend, finding a new opportunity, conceiving a baby. It's not been my experience, in general. Indeed generally I have found that when I am looking for nothing, that is what I get, but this week, while I was busy not looking for it, I crossed that golden threshold of 5000 Vocal reads. Why this is the golden threshold I do not know, only I remember quite some time ago a rash of people I had subscribed to all posting this landmark at a similar time, and thinking how utterly unlikely 5000 reads seemed for me.
