I’m doodling down spontaneous phrases in the
handwriting I’d imagine the girl on the radio has,
calling it in retrospect a poetic exercise,
hoping I’m as accurate about the font

as I know I must never be confident I am—

Be humble, girl, non-presumptuous, open, curious,
non-invasive, and oh, deal with the consequences
of how much more able to be right
that refusal to assume is gonna make you.
