Campaigning for Cash

Buy me a latte,
I’ll love you a latte
please
don’t expect me to remember
your name or
even say hi
later
unless
we meet
for another cup
of coffee
(your treat)

I have a cause
please donate
to my cause
I’ll fight
for something
for me
I can’t guarantee
it’s worthy
my cause
could be
for our right
to eat extra stuffing
with turkey
and gravy

I need you
don’t
you see?
My bills stacked
deep
and my stomach’s angry
you won’t like it
when my stomach’s angry
I can tell
you that

Send me
a small sum
I’ll make you this
I vow
I won’t
run for governor
or aspire
to be
the people’s president
I’ll leave
that
to the cows.

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
