                                      do you feel it?

a Kafkaesque self

Slather Language Here (Magnetic Poem #1)

Creativity is like a deep well, and as long as you keep it nourished, its waters will be there for you.

During this time of self-isolation, I realized I need creative time to play and get away from screens. So, this series of poetic interventions into my day, via my fridge haha (thanks magnetic poetry!) is meant as a creative outlet.

Here's the first poem. But technically this is Day 9 of self-isolation.

slather language here
miscreant missives

a system for
fecund ennui


(N is for Neville who died of ennui
- Edward Gorey)
