i have written a lot of little poems lately. i need to start revising.


i have an ongoing novel-turned-movie cinematically panning scenes through my head. but i find little rest to write it all down.


i have ignored my bounds of summer reading.

its not like i have too much to do.

it's that i have a one-track mind- lift. run. yoga. hike. bike. eat a little. socialize.resumes.cover letters. repeat several times over.

i'm sorry literature, the elliptical machine is now my best friend. until i'm at a nice weight, i may speak with you less often.

god, i will try not to do the same to you.
