reading is more than
mapping glyphs into characters,
characters into words,
words into sentences,
sentences into paragraphs,
paragraphs into […]
reading is about
.finding
..designing
…building
….embracing
…parting
..destroying
.dreaming once more
of new
Note to self: You tend to get quite drawn into your studies. The assignment provided enough reference material for you to write the essay without having to go and buy ‘Netsuke: 100 miniature masterpieces from Japan’ that you saw referenced in one of the sources. You did something similar for The Dalai Lama assignment, finding a quote that you really needed to check as a matter of precaution [yet another purchase]. Slightly obsessive IMHO… Or should I praise you for your efforts and determination? One day when you read this note you can make your up your own mind :I
You would never find me; cup in hand,
Begging on a corner near your home,
You would find me two streets down,
Behind the wreck of an old car,
Beneath layers of old boxes,
The smiley face of Amazon; reminding you,
I once were; someone

– that weird looking face in the mirror
Before the kiss
my lips desire
softening
,
Let us share
this Jeroboam
burgundy red
,
No matter; briefly
as honey flows
inadequately
,
My kiss upon
thy lips
thereafter
,
a memory
a longing
innocently wandering; below
The yellow bag at the back of the cupboard,
I find by chance; lucky I count myself,
Opened with mindsets of saving; for posterity,
Not long before that promise; broken was,
Empty, the bag; full a stomach of mine,
Emm Ann Emm, of peanuts born,
A savoury treat; chocolate covered,
A feast!
“How long will it take you to complete?”
Very relatable. THIS IS WHY I LEFT! But I haven’t reached the dark point yet…
Note to self: well done! You managed to spend 41 hours of your life on a piece of sh1t writing which has no real meaning apart from keeping the educational system happy. 1502 words about what? AND YOU THINK YOU WILL EVER BE ABLE TO WRITE A BOOK? Your pace was 0.61 words per minute!! Next time, less planning and more writing, Okay?
No matter
No matter
The amount of candles lit
No matter
In the corners of the room; darkness persists
No matter
No matter
The traps laid to catch them
No matter
Bad thoughts return in hauntings
No matter
No matter
How painful the waking hours
No matter
The nothingness a blackened ocean
No matter
No matter
A mermaid’s smile in greeting
No matter
While flailing, sinking; without drowning
