Artist date
by mandate
of the book whose morning pages I hate.
I picked the library
because there's naught else to do
in this town so sleepy and dimmed of hue.
Angel numbers follow me,
companionship, matrimony,
"happy couple" pair I drew
from the deck earlier this week
in divining
the vibe.
Will you forgive me, Jett,
if I can't live up to my promises?
If I've got no place exciting
to choose for these weekly outings?

"I was hoping you'd pick
the library
anyway.
I'm not a fan of crowds or noise blankets."
