We Are Succulent

"We are succulent with our shredded fantasies,
our unread books,
our misguided perfectionism,
our hiding in bed eating rows of cookies,
or neurotically running to and away from things.
We are succulent just like this.
Just the way we are NOW.
Our mysteries, our insanities, our relentless self-improvement programs
are all pieces of succulence.
We are succulent.
Half finished, in process,
eyes swollen from crying and denying our weaknesses.
We are this.
We are succulent."
