Drinking On the Phone
I talked with Juliet tonight for a few hours. About halfway through, the two of us started in on our own respective glasses of Jim Beam. We talked about writing, about blocks, about how to get back into writing regularly. We hit a lot of topics: jobs, being alone, video games… the list goes on….
The Triggering Town: Writing Off the Subject
by Richard Hugo Young poets find it difficult to free themselves from the initiating or triggering subject, which starts the poem or “causes” the poem to be written, and the real or generated subject, which the poem comes to say or mean, and which is generated or discovered in the poem during the writing. That’s…
Random Thought
I’ve got a lot of my life posted here. Every once in a while, I dig through the past year or so of entries, and I just get lost. Part of the enjoyment is remembering, but at the same time it feels… masturbatory, voyeuristic almost (even for me). Sometimes, I wonder how you feel about…
Alright…
Tried writing again, and it’s just not going anywhere. I’m beyond feeling down or sad or what have you. I’m just plain out pissed off. I know it’s been a while, but WHAT in the fuck. It’s not like I don’t know how to write a god damn poem. I think I’m putting too much…

Fee — Read this book! It’s the thing I mentioned at the Siskelafter Sans Soleil … like that movie, it restores my childhood sense of awe & wonder… Also, there’s an observational commitment in Knipl that reminds me of you. I hope this is the book that meditates on “marking” immovable urban fixtures… Justin
Blocked
Tried writing tonight, but no go. I don’t feel like I have anything to say. And without that, what’s the point of writing anything? If I were extremely sad right now, or insanely happy… I feel like I might have something to try to convey. But tonight, just a big blankness. I’d scribble a word…
Perseverence
It’s not much, but I noticed this shriveled, black balloon maybe a week or so ago. I was standing at the Damen Blue Line stop, looking down onto the street, and noticed it hanging from a nearby tree. The balloon was being batted around by the wind, but had apparently been exposed to the elements…
I feel loved
I got home and, when I was fishing around in my mailbox… I come across this: Up until tonight, I’ve been worried that I had somehow offended the two of them. Mainly because I don’t remember anything at all from the last time we boozed together. I’m taking this as a sign that my fears…
