Transcript:

Page 1


Recently I realized I love old class

notes. How now they make no sense.


  • after the class is gone

  • digging further into the page

  • with each thought burrowing

  • deeper deeper deeper


I threw away my old notes.

Because they didn’t have art on them

But maybe that was a mistake.

The leaves are falling.


Across the street their leaves are heart shaped

  • the fake kind


I wish my cousin well in his second marriage.


I’ve been trying to write, but I haven’t been

  • I can’t commit to words

  • fucking circle speaker


When writing essays, I write like a politician speaks.

  • tend to (don’t commit)

and drove cross country.

I wish I capitalized that last “And”

but I wrote this bitch in pen.


I usually write with pencil,

but I thought I’d dress it up

    • every day feels like a new life

I can’t commit to tomorrow

Not yet.

Call at 11


I like watching calligraphy,

but that’s just envy.


In those notes I threw away, I found

a paper

blank of words

with drawings all in the margins

leaving space for words

that aren’t.

I kept that one.
