Fake it 'Til You Make it
A moment of consideration upon not getting published.

On a glorious, fresh day,
Under a glorious, warm sun,
Upon the glorious, lush grass
I sit
And skim through another one of my failures.
A fat, black, bumbling fly meanders by;
It reminds me of a film I saw recently
And I think how I am just as sad as that woman
When she stares,
For a single shot of ten minutes’ duration,
Into the abyss.
A fat fly lands on her thick hair.
Today I will pretend to be happy
Until I am happy.
I smile at someone I do not like.
