temperature falls the cold and crispy clean breathing in what’s left of the air brains freeze to my sleep I crystallize make no mistake, we’re far away chemicals die this has to be the same a restless breaking-free of a fantasy sounds don’t put up a fight reverberate I just don’t know what else to […]

I won’t make a habit out of posting these, but they’re fun. I came up with this idea a few years ago. Write about what you did today (Microsoft Word or similar works best. Notepad doesn’t) then randomly select and move stuff around until it looks like a poem. Clean it up and post it […]
