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.
