The Unphotographed Crêpe

written by Crystal Paradis

I thought about photographing my crêpe

But then, I thought, then

It will no longer be solely mine.

Handwritten Poetry: William Fogg Memorial Library

written by Crystal Paradis

Here’s a handwritten/scrawled poem. Because a) it’s easier than typing it out, and b) doesn’t it just look better this way?

Inbox Zero

written by Crystal Paradis

Prioritizations passed down
From leaders, peers and self
Trying to put in order
Of most to least likely
To cause a crisis
If ignored

But then I escape
Rediscover
That childhood secret refuge
Look up — up — up
And

Who am I to ignore
This tree’s priority
Of being looked at
Of being appreciated
For its gnarled bark
Its high, reaching limbs
Stretching — stretching

Who am I to say that
The contemplation
Of what caused
That bend — and
That knot
Is less crucial

Than anything sitting in my inbox
