If my life were a sitcom... this season on "Matters of the Heart"

Julian Adon Alexander, Matters Of The Heart, 2025

S4Ep9 | 09/30
cold front finally broke 
back outside for summer 
nights and my girls and i 
are all having the same fight 
with our sometimes lovers 
sometimes friends - men 
who don’t get the hint 
that this isn’t hoe shit. we 
looking to commit. too cute 
for casting couch casual love 
interests who don’t last the 
whole season. i’m waiting for 
our live audience to swoon 
when he enters the room. 
cheer so loud i forget my 
lines. must improv this 
intimacy, reruns remember 
this romance, it’s undeniable 
chemistry crew waiting to yell 
CUT! will he be an extra for this 
episode or my next leading man?

Got behind, but am still committed to my 30/30. Writing double time this week, ketchup poetry. Speaking of food puns, I saw “You, Me, & Tuscany,” and the box office discourse reminds me why we need more Black romance movies, yet y’all are lucky no one is screenwriting my love life.

Are you rising to the challenge of daily stanzas?

Write on, poets.
