i used the stairs to get here
(three poems)

by jillian clark

i used the stairs to get here

my actions have consequences
my actions have consequences
my actions have consequences

and what if i line everything up like this

m y a c t i o n s h a v e c o n s e q u e n c e s
m y a c t i o n s h a v e c o n s e q u e n c e s
m y a c t i o n s h a v e c o n s e q u e n c e s
m y a c t i o n s h a v e c o n s e q u e n c e s

my mom said "there's just no reason
to talk to people that way"

because i have listened to the recording
of pavana no. 1 multiple times today
i will do well in my lesson

it's science
the worse you feel about something before it happens
the better it will turn out
my actions have consequences sometimes
therein lies the impossibility of my poems
& your face
