Stalled by anger. The pleading of a man in Alabama woke me up, triggering tears. So why not write? <\/p>\n
I’m plastered to the wall. Marked in lines by lath, fiberglass for hair. <\/p>\n
I find online magazines ponderous. I find everything ponderous. Elephantine constructus of words. <\/p>\n
Olivia’s fragments appeal. Shards. Splinters. Shreds. <\/p>\n
I try to breathe. I breathe. I try to be. I be. <\/p>\n
Afterwords, afterbirth, afterdeath. Afterward, alterword, offerwords. <\/p>\n
Hard sorrow. <\/p>\n
Anger. Oftentimes am told
\na practical way to do things
\nI know (alreadY) Jesus
\ndamn I know don’t you
\nthink I know how to do
\nthings? <\/p>\n

\nHeat leftovers
\nHandle hot dishware
\nKeep track of time<\/p>\n
So here’s my answer
\nThe Deliberate Impractical

\nAnd I also levitate<\/p>\n
Strength and <\/p>\n
