- Send mom a photo so she knows I went outside today

Think about:

Whether the building wall or the bench is redder, what does it mean, the color red, how does sunlight change the redness of the texture beneath its streak

- Watch a pigeon spin one-eighty upon an electricity pole

Think about:

Whether it had a direction in mind, and made a mistake during its descent, or just winging it, just looking all around, how the spin was so smooth

- See an ad, second vanilla ice cream cone half off

Think about:

Whether to get two for myself, I would be alone, whether it's wrong to get two, or even one, would it be too early, for vanilla ice cream cone(s)

- What else, you ask

Tell you aloud:

Well I do do things in between, sometimes meaningful things even, I get people or animals to like me, they like me sometimes, I just prefer not to write them down, let them stare back, they scare me, I'm not ready to find beauty in them, yet

- Write a poem, anything

Think about:

How long a line of poetry can extend, before

it's functionally no longer a single line it

instead wraps itself around, to fit the page

or the screen or your attention, warped into

a glob, but how about this, choose the words

and breaks, build a block brick by beautiful

brick, the words they are beautiful and slim

enough would not be molded by the boundaries

of the medium of perception, these words are

beautiful, but tame, won't prod at forbidden

fringes, are you still there, does this seem

pathetic do I, it looks satisfying to me, me

who thinks in run-on sentences but sometimes would rather stay in
