Ever since I bought rubber stamps, I’ve been making more of these “overlap” things. They mimic the repetition of stamps with the imperfection of handwriting. I don’t know if they’re poems or a disjointed journaling technique, but I’m working with them to express how words appear in my mind as I say them. It might be the most accurate style of stream-of-consciousness writing for me. Typing it out makes it sound like I’m screaming in my head at all times, which is not the case. Promise.
