The Streak (Going For #12)

& so far today
In the past 24hrs
Well, the past 22hrs
I have written 11 poems
Which may sound impressive
I’m so humble & wouldn’t know

But the thing is: I'm not satisfied
11's good enough, but good enough
Has never been good enough – so
I Am aiming for #13 – because
Lately it’s been my Lucky #
Ironic – I know & -still-

I
Want
To keep
The streak
Going for #12

Lately it’s been my Lucky #

Ironic – I know -still-

I want to keep

The streak
