winner's curse

a reading of "a fear of heights", which can also be found here: https://allpoetry.com/poem/13986038

this one is a little musical for me, and I tried to sing it the way I did when I wrote it, but... it wasn't working, and it doesn't work quite the way it should as spoken word, either, since it still retains some of that lyrical structure.

A reading of the poem "writing in the dark" by Electric Median, which can be found here https://allpoetry.com/poem/17448228
but is also transcribed below.

iii.
I've said before
that I typed a paper with the monitor off—
it was so I didn't have to face my words,
just had to trust them to my hands and
focus on the keystrokes,
on getting them right
and carefully counting backspace
when a finger flubbed.

and the words were there anyway,
burning inside of me.
I hardly noticed
the screen was dark




When it came back on
it was subject to that much more
scrutiny
eating my words one at a time and
spitting out the typos.
So little was changed;
it was exactly what I thought it would be

repulsive.
exactly what it needed to be

a grade.



ii.
she lost her sister and her mother
on the same day
I lost a friend
in the slow way of
not knowing what to say as
we grew up and apart

as the simplicity
of walking a little ways past the park
became too tenuous to claim
I know her






i.
I had a friend I forgot

she
offered the seat next to her on the bus
and I didn't take it then
because I didn't know
her







I had
a friend
