@trashheap anything newer than punch cards are of the devil
That and the world is on fire and respiratory illness is constant BUT yes also I miss making out
@MxSadie there really is!
@MxSadie just reminded me to rebuild mine!
I performed my poetry for the first time last night, I haven't performed in any capacity over a decade much less read my own poetry. Despite shaking, and nearly crying the whole time I recieved great applause and a poet I deeply respect told me my work was really good.
I also may have started a friendship with someone. I am really proud of myself for doing scary things and growing again. Rosemary is getting xyr groove back after a very long time.
I may joke about poetry being like a disgusting bodoly function, an excretion of a spiritual fluid; but, more often than not I make poetry like I build furniture from scratch. Milling the raw lumber, shaping the individual pieces, putting them together with mortices and tenons, and working to make it into a coherent, stable whole.
