Things My Girlfriends Teach Me

by Kate Baer

When in doubt, try it on. Keep it simple.
Don’t waste time worrying if they will see
you from behind. No one on this entire
earth cares more about your life than you.

Eat a breakfast. Find a God. Make a casserole
to freeze. If you’re walking on a deserted road,
send me your location. Remember you don’t
need a straw.

Drink more water. Fold your sweaters. This
is the time to buy a hat. When life throws
you a bag of sorrow, hold out your hands.
Little by little, mountains are climbed.
