  • Quick break from writing

    Oh the outline, the outline! How good it looks over in the pile of today’s dust. Yes it’s been so freeing just to write again and misplace the map. It’s easier to see the road as it is, cracking naturally, with buildings I never noticed but were always there. New things came up, and now I’m filling in potholes with velvet.

    As an aside, these targeted ads are working. A mechanical keyboard does sound important. How could anyone write a book without one? I love my Lenovo dearly. True love I promise! And yet the clickety clack of a mechanical keyboard allures me.

    Maybe I’ll add a moment where one of my characters is charmed by the sound something makes. Hmm… could be velvet.

  • Re: Housman

    I to my perils
    came not like A.E. Housman
    “clad in armor by stars benign”
    I swam to them in my PJs
    hair kinked, water logged
    and trouble was a bonfire.

    Trouble was the thing he kept his mind on huh
    Trouble was the thing he took to supermarkets
    hoping This was the day
    right by the spinach
    he could be a true and worthy victor
    ‘cause his mind was in the game.
    Did he want to prove himself stronger than us
    the mortals who wished for everything sweet

    I wished too hard for time to pass
    and passing is the great gift and curse of prickly knees.
    I tugged myself through marshes by tufts of leg hair
    to which I gleamed a shining eye to Hope
    I’d not trifle with a fleeting love
    or luck money or mock fame.

    Turns out every part of me is mortal fool,
    and Housman, he’s under the stars
    Hands behind his head, grinning
    because he left out a stanza.
