a disturbing dream
overthoughts of overwork
what such radio silence undoubtedly portends
wakeup alarm reshuffled
and where is this monkey now?
notes on the back of a drivinghome index card
i fail to list two hands full
clock keeps ticking
turn away to something else
cooler air and grayer sky
rich wide moments left
let loose creativity
the work of works, of nests, of young
flitting thoughts -- birds again --
glistening world of academia
the splendor of writing, of igniting --
STRETCH
consider the shift
a thought experiment
to carry with
the next exercise to come
