I would never fast-forward the boring
part
If I could
in life, you miss so much chance
As it is. Why would I take
the risk?
You're better off being there, considering
everywhere else you could
be instead.
You might even end up
with a thought
in your head

I agree. I could use some boring parts in life right now--just so I can have some time to think. There is so much potential in those so-called boring parts when life isn't dragging you along at an unbearable speed.

I could use
some boring parts in life
right now-
-just so I can have some time
to think. There is so much
potential in those so-called boring parts,
when life's not dragging you along
at some unbearable speed,
towards some brink
you'll never see,
until you're well past over it, and spinning
towards the boring part.
- you hit -
and drill
yourself a well.
oh shit
this takes a bit
of art.
(that would be
"the boring part"
hm.)
Wow. I didn't realize we were cowriting something when I wrote that comment, but it turns out we did. You need to poem my comments more often. Thanks for making me see a poem where I didn't see one before.
Well, I don't think we were technically! When you wrote that comment.
But a lot of the time people phrase things in passing in a poetic way, and especially if it's November or thereabouts and I'm writing an asston of poems, I'm too much in practice not to snap it up into line breaks and run with it a little. It's good practice, if nothing else!
I haven't written anything creative in a long time, so let me have this one. If we call it cowriting, I feel like I made some kind of effort. :)
I have an important question: will the poem here in the comments count toward your annual total?
Two reasons it can't:
1. Comments don't bump the post total. So if it ended up December 31st at 364, it's not reasonable to expect people will go spelunking through comments for my benefit of their doubt. People will rightly think the drive fell short, and that this was not a poem-a-day(-on-average) blog in 2017. It will have fallen short. In that sense, it can't "count."
2. This year is kind of critical. This hasn't been a poem-a-day(-on-average) blog since halfway through 2013. I'm trying to resurge, be resurgent, taking assists can't help in that purpose.
This is all fuss and trifling on my part. Can't help it right now. Driven! But I wanted to give the only clear and honest answer.
