viewwrite on the streets
write in the bar
no matter where you are,
write.
we write to ourselves
we write to the void
we write to the passersby
in graffiti on brick and street signs
are we leaving our mark
does it even matter
one day we'll look back, say
This is where it all happened.
in the corner of the early bar
on the late night streets
among clamoring crowds
in the trendy neighborhood
in the quiet night alone
sitting only with your thoughts

viewthese days i wake
slow
slink out of bed to
bathroom and shoes
take the elevator down from
some strange room
to walk the city in
gray drizzle
blue cold
midtone wind tunnel
i keep a watch i don't look at
i hold a map i don't need
the new days are alive
all old days are dead
leave them in the tissue paper
and
fall in love
with solitude
#poetry
viewfor a while, I kept up old habits
following new friends into the snowy night
accumulating new stories without a plot
somehow you haven't yet seen
how to see yourself — but
in those fleeting moments you
come through clearly
in the deepest breath
of cold fresh air

This is a small story for you. A work of fiction.
I'll write it, even if I don't know what it's about. Shouting to the void, as anyone would want to.

On a pragmatic note, you might like to get emails from me.
I mean, they're not from me. Instead, a computer standing between us sends you a copy of what I wrote. Then you can read it in your e-mailbox.
Maybe you'll enjoy it still. Even with the robot standing between us.
See you inside.
