Mean (an acrostic poem)

Maybe being average isn’t that bad after all

Everyone is a large sample size

And it means you did better than half of them

Now just ignore the fact that half the population is better than you

Spoons (an acrostic poem)

So far much can you handle today?

Perhaps it is one or two more than yesterday

Or maybe it is a half dozen less

Or maybe you threw them all in the wash and need to sit out a bit

Nobody can tell you how many you have at your disposal

So do what you can and know that it’s okay

Chart (an acrostic poem)

Creating pictures to represent data

Has a power unto its own

And we react to that image in about a half a second

Reaching conclusions without really knowing the story behind it

That is why even though a picture is a thousand words, they could all be lies

Room (an acrostic poem)

Really need to get a bigger apartment

Or get rid of half of the stuff

Okay, maybe three quarters of it all

Maybe the apartment isn’t the problem

Purge (an acrostic poem)

Putting half her life in the trash never felt good

Until she did it though, there would be no freedom

Reaching for the next stack of poems

Going through each she remembered how hard they had been to write

Even as she let each slip through her fingers into the recycling
