i’m too weak to be your cure

I was thinking in poetry the other day.

Not thinking of poetry,
because everyone knows
that i just don’t have
poetry
in me,
but just thinking
and putting in line breaks
where they seemed most
appropriate.
Really, this
is the only kind of poetry
i could write.
Just prose
broken up
so it’s given more

significance
than the words themselves
deserve.

I’m thinking
I should start
carrying a notebook around
to record the things I think up
when I’m just sitting
& staring
& thinking.
Chances are
the things that sound so profound
in my head
would never project onto paper
and i would tear out the pages
before anyone else could read them
or think i actually thought i could write,
but who knows?
Occasionally I do come up with some good
one-liners.

I went to San Diego
to visit my sister
& generally to get away from
the snow & cold
that have made this winter
interminably
l o n g.
Honestly, I wish I’d never left.
I took something like
300 pictures
at the San Diego zoo.
To regale you with stories now would be pretty
pointless,
& I don’t think I’d have the energy
tonight.
Besides, how could I update in the
(hopefully)near
future if I give everything away
now?

Line breaks
make
every
word
seem like an
epiphany.

In other news,
the new entry toolbar
can suck my
balls.

Damn you, OD.

Damn.
You.

Writing this & then putting in line breaks in random or desirable places made me laugh. Honestly, it’s not meant to be poetry. I was reading some Bukowski, and he writes stories with clever line breaks. I could so do that.
