"Veni, Vidi, Vici"

Forgive me, my thought process sometimes lacks discipline. I have strange ideas. I'm a sort of armchair philosopher turned poet. This is a writer's blog, but I do not publish my finished work here. I post fragments, pieces, ideas; works in progress. I test out ideas that may or may not become more fully realized. I write flash fiction and poetry. I love generic transgression and experimental poetry. I write mostly about art and failed romance. When all else fails, I post things that inspire me.

Cut-Up Poem for Johanna's Birthday

Women think
I had thought in those years, I suppose

But what pain

I thought now, to settle upon –

did not hold – that even that was illusory?

some more fantastic and rare dream
having once aspired? ...the most-the best-we can do:

over and over again, in the quiet part of our minds.

* These are Johanna's words, taken from Goodreads quotes from her novels. I just cut them up and rearranged them to create this poem.
