Now that my high school reunion is over, there's nothing left for me to anticipate. My life was stale before, but now it's starting to get really stale. I'm not sure what the goal of my free time should be. I know I don't want to aspire for a master's degree right now. I'd rather try to get some measure of fame. I got one publication, but I know I can get some more. There's all kinds of other options though, each with varying degrees of gratification.
I could do multiple projects, but I'd rather not stretch myself too thin. Just pick one.

I say try doing something poetry related. I admit I am not one for poetry, but it seems you have received much praise for your works. Who knows maybe you will meet a girl at some poetry related event. That is how I met some one, just doing Model UN and I am sure that you have just as much of a chance if not better at a poetry related event.

Why don't you try getting more poetry published while you actually go to poetry readings? You never know, you might learn something and be inspired to put even more skill into your own to boost your posibilities of getting more and more poetry published.
There's your project: Pursue a satisfying Life's Work, and see if you can make a livable wage at it along the way.

I'm probably the only one who would say find a girlfriend but that's only because I'm sure you'd like to find someone. But yeah, the job or the poety would work fine too.

I think the combination of the three, come on life cant be that hard Wise, and life for you is not over by any means. Your poetry is superb and you know you can get a better job, and the GF thing, well good luck...
Find what makes you happy and work from there....
