The Journal of Uncertainty (By Cat Matchuk)
Fill my lines so you appear busy.
Mundane tasks
They look important,
but they are
not. Highlight
scribbled words and letters.
Phone numbers, appointments.
A grocery list or two.
Fill the pages completely.
With importance,
but they are
nonsense.
Crease the edges of the paper.
Looks used
It is carried around,
but it never
leaves. Fake
the dates and appointments.
pretend and pretend
You must be somewhere,
but you have no where
to be.
