4/3/2019 Dear Diary by Bojana StojcicDEAR DIARY SUNDAY mom yelled at dad, dad talked back (same old, same old), both can pack a suitcase quicker than hell but keep screaming and dreaming of a far-off heaven MONDAY all girls in my class have a date it’s mostly men past their prime who listen to elevator music and buy them skies with shiny clouds not that i expect anyone to like me i know i’m ugly and it has nothing to do with self-esteem good looking people know they’re good looking if you think you’re not, you probably aren’t i wonder what post-euphoric laziness feels like (it’s probably gross anyway) TUESDAY teachers gave me a lesson on morality (again) the same people who got their kids to go to bed alone but consider horizontal togetherness passé and prefer practicing self-love before bed stretched out like four-leaf clovers WEDNESDAY i’m bored thank god for candy bars and booze the tv’s on, i like it that way coz a big space seems much smaller THURSDAY i actually hate dating and this is how you’re supposed to feel FRIDAY future i will future i can’t (my mind’s a jumble) SATURDAY i got myself a new dog and a new addiction – i sneak away when things get rowdy and plunge into the water where i don’t sweat where i am weightless and can pretend none of this is real Bojana Stojcic teaches, bitches, writes in English, swears in Serbian, quarrels in German and tries to breathe in between. Her poems and flash pieces are published or forthcoming in Down in the Dirt, Visual Verse, Mojave Heart Review, Dodging the Rain, The Stray Branch, Tuck magazine, X-R-A-Y Lit Magazine and others. 4/14/2019 12:01:54 pm
