“Feeling angry for imagining the opening of the passage yet unopened for you”
Inventory for Spring - Wendy Xu | Coca Cola Life
The Poem
Inventory for Spring - Wendy Xu
Feeling rich for one moment for using money as a bookmark
Feeling deceitful for making public some opinions while neglecting others
Feeling disordered at the sight of three statues conspiring in a row
Feeling insufficient for having a lukewarm reaction to news
Feeling important for having been offered a seat at the table
Feeling apologetic for nonetheless tuning out an argument
Feeling blue for identifying some people who don’t respect you
Feeling like a knife slipping into a pool of water for bearing
disagreement
Feeling redundant for moving in a similar direction as others
Feeling angry for imagining the opening of the passage yet
unopened for you
Feeling antisocial for declining further missives from home
The Beverage
Coca Cola Life
Yo!!! This stuff tastes like regular Coke! Even Mexican-glass-bottle Coke! But it’s part Stevia! This is crazy!!! I still will usually turn to my beloved Chemical Cocktail Diet Coke, but this feels like a healthier choice. “Feels” is the operative word. It still has a LOT of sugar in it. Into it.
