day 8 predictive

dear Jem

you are free, obviously, 

so why don't you actually get some work done ? 

do those readings

prepare those slides 

write that paper . 

or learn the veena 

bake a soufflé 

pick up bird photography 

just this staring and scrolling and refreshing 

isn't going to cut it. 

Go! 

Dear Jem

you are free

that's liberating 

free to do what

Dear Jem

you are free-falling 

into words

spiralling across the page.

This poem is writing itself

Thoughts coralling 

cascading,

a waterfall of letters 

haphazardly shaping 

themselves 

into this

now 

if only

my paper also will write itself 

or my closet right itself 

with a wrinkle of my nose like 

Samantha in bewitched 

Dear Jem

This poem is writing itself.

Thoughts coralling 

cascading,

a waterfall of letters 

haphazardly shaping 

themselves 

into this

now 

if only

my paper will also write itself 

or my closet right itself 

with a wiggle of my nose like 

Samantha in Bewitched

of their own accord 

or through the force of your phone

Dear jem 

and thanks again
