The pieces scatter and shatter.
Glasses. Cleaner. I am cleaner.
And the darkness it encroaches.
Meaner like a shark - but I am a seahorse.
And I swim shapely through the amorphous
And the bland, but blind.
Morphing into wonder someday
I wonder. Despairing in despair
Scared of hoping.
We all smile, we all sing…The weak become heroes and the stars align…We all sing, sing, sing…

Suddenly I can write proper linear prose and the newly orderly (and somehow less creative) yet perhaps more eloquent and ultimately worthwhile words have announced themselves.
I should post said prose. Perhaps I will.
To be a writer with fluctuating abilities - with trade-offs and benefits at any given time - is always an adventure.

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

some things about me:
-when i was born, it was sunny and cold.
-last time i went to the brooklyn botanical gardens with my mom, we saw the “narcissus poeticus” plant and i instantly froze. i often think walt disney had the right idea to try and encapsulate his soul somehow…but he’ll never know. whoops. Frost happens. and sometimes things happen completely randomly. It’s a fact.
-i like clementines and kiwis.
-my favorite song in the world is “columba aspexit”
-i write and research a lot. i also am very good at tripping myself up when it comes to communicating what i think. i think it has something to do with mirror neurons.
-my favorite poem is the Waste Land. or Howl. it depends on my mood. which is why i need a ring.
-there are so many angles in life, and so few real answers. i think the solution is to stop with the screens - unless they tell you something enlightening. and take ambien. and write. because if a tree grows in brooklyn, better books are written.
-sometimes i’m afraid to open my eyes and ears, but then i remember that every single thing is flawed, and the only value life has rests on your ability to make and thus to create meaning - and to say what you mean. But you can only know that if you write it.
