Trying! Mood swings Forward high Middle low Backward high Don’t let go!

The noticing eye The situation Ahead, premade Collaborative material Spontaneous moment click Captured tale An illustrated instance Hah A happening Yet To be told Aha A truth Yet to be Saved (and held onto) For another Time.

SAT IN THE SINGLE SUN SPOT CORNER OF MY BALCONY MY NECK EXTENDING OUTWARDS IN ANY ATTEMPT TO ABSORB ANY UNMEASURED AMOUNT OF ENERGY I COULD SALVAGE      BORROW      RESERVE      BEFORE           ANOTHER                HOUR                     PASSES.

It is or is not raining - the humid evidence drips - the water slides down the building eavesdrop to the soil below - I wonder if this is 1 way to grow - maybe this music is what you are - after today.

I am working - today is another day where I don’t know what my job description is, yet I continue to exert myself so as not to unwork. I blend frozen fruit as loudly as I can, electrically. I also look for opportunities to make eye contact with fellow heat seekers on the masked sidewalk. We miss each other while missing each other. I read books.

Hello to the dearest readers of this page, Are you still there? If you are, and if you are reading, I’d like to thank you. How are things going with you? Please feel free to send me a message anytime and let me know that you’re doing okay. I’m writing here to let you know that I recently released/published my 1st collection of poetry, and yes, of course, it’s in the form of an album. The collection is called “And The Spontaneous Splash Pad Poetry Of Applied Linguistics And Living”. Maybe you’d like to hear me read some poems aloud. Or perhaps you’re curious about the format of my recorded poetry in conjunction with other collaged sounds. In any case, it’s available for you, and I wrote some additional background notes about it at the same place where you can listen (linked below). If you’re interested in checking it out, you can listen for free. If you’d like to further support me on my creative path, you can download the album and add it to your collection. https://delstephen.bandcamp.com/album/and-the-spontaneous-splash-pad-poetry-of-applied-linguistics-and-living-del-019 With gratitude, yours truly, Del Stephen

OH DEAR IT SEEMS I HAVE FALLEN LIKE THE SOUNDS RAIN IS AS SILENT AS SPORTS WITHOUT TEAMMATES OR OPPONENTS TO TOUCH TACKLE AND MAKE CONTACT WITH RAIN IS AS SILENT AS SPORTS.
