I've decided to finish the NaNoWriMo I began (and mostly wrote, not thoroughly that's a different modifier entirely) in 2023. In all honesty, I have burnt edges on my fingers and my thoughts.
But in the meantime, it seems like writing a poem a day would do wonder, quite literally, to worlds. No story well-told goes well without wonder, anyhow.
And despite words, there's nothing very literal about a whole story, da? It's layers that can be faintly iterated, never literated: Letter only set a stage; and that stage is rounded by sleep, the place we remember, if we've forgotten, that hearts and stories are neither literal nor linear. Paradoxically, they still have their exits and entrances.

it isn't in me, say
he puts down pennies, a piece of clay
counter-clatter, nails chewed back--
to pay.
A regal lack.
Stacked.
Copper mossed, grey, say
I tell him,
if you can't pay--
But he takes it all back,
scrambled rattled ring
into his pockets, drops it--
at least half--
And I close the shop that day,
and the ferry at the back.
Say, have you watched the river
roll away
of late
to Hades.
I like to tell the poets
how much it costs. Say
I like to know it
makes them put the
drama
on
a
page.

She has also been seeing, and resenting, these charcuterie boards on Yap and Rio Social, with their matzo-inspired crackers and inexplicable pork-based cured meats, and she is not looking forward to this. But she is trying to be a process-oriented team player, or whatever, so she will try it.

Nice to have a day where I wrote mostly dialogue and therefore didn't have to look very many things up

The pop musician daughter is in Loukanis’ office. Xamira saw her bobble past maybe twenty minutes ago in a diaphanous, iridescent dress over a flesh-tone leotard and an ankle-threatening pair of pink platform Crocs, carrying a tote bag with one of those trendy cat-capybara hybrids in it.

Excerpt from today:
“Oh my god,” Courtney says. Padma can’t say shit like this to her. Sarcastically: “Is your dad gonna buy me implants?”
Well, that was an inside thought that didn’t stay inside. Courtney really wants to bring up the molecular gastronomy restaurant Padma’s parents bought and ran into the ground before its third seasonal tasting menu could even launch, how they throw money at stupid shit and don’t even notice when it doesn’t work out.
“Are they gonna buy you a breast reduction?” Courtney says.
