Introducing Katrina

What is something interesting about me? I have a need to always be trying something new. Today, I don't eat processed foods.

My daughters think I'm crazy, my husband thinks I'm cute but scattered, and my friends know I never answer my cell phone.

I'm 41, which sounds a lot older than the 42 I will be in two weeks. I love dogs, serious(ly) dislike snakes and cats, prefer to read young adult fiction, and hate being in a vehicle going faster than 80mph.

Bad Poem

Shut Up

I’m in my own head
The walls are closing in
Shut the door quickly
Shut the door, let no one in.

Trapped in black space
The shadows are leaking out
I will never be hopeful
I will never consent to reach up, or out.

I have failed to escape
The world has collapsed up
Forever in this black space
Forever in my own head, shut up

Anagram

Katrina Louise Beck

Listen to a Louisiana beetle needle
Treat a snake to banana cake
Kiss an anteater’s sleek beak
Snack on a louse house
Tote a little bee tree
Trounce on a kissen’ kitten


Incineration

Track sin in streets too clean to enter
Bent on total race obliteration
Beat back attention to bruised balance
Listen, it burns still in bleak elation
