“Literary” Upchuck

There is so much crap written before I create even one good verse. Today, while attempting to write (attempting, being the keyword), I gave up and just streamed out my thoughts, which turn out to be utterly senseless shit. Enjoy.

I’m in Starbucks.
I’ve entirely sold out now, but the latte’s great.
Poetic words are out of stock, apparently.
Being in a coffee lounge doesn’t change the writing,
But caffeine does change the writer.
I can hardly stick to one idea.
The sun’s bright.
It’s warm.
I’m trying to learn Norwegian.
Ikke —- inn en sol.
Damn, missing a word, and it’s probably wrong.
Again.

They’re holding hands.
God, I hate them.
I wonder how often in this world of ours
A/S/L leads to PDA.
Is that Ethiopian?
And that…that is Chinese.
Again.
I wonder if one of their distant relatives
Helped make the shirt I’m wearing now.
I shouldn’t think like that.
But everyone does, really.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll write something worthwhile.

I used to do that with a typewriter.

But then in the end it turned out just being a lot of me ranting about how ineffective the typewriter was.

I love how your ‘verbal diarrhea’ is expressed, however.
The first part conveys my abstractedness whenever I’m in a coffeeshop.
The second part is intriguing.

Here’s to tomorrow then.

well it started off oddly, then just got more and more scattered. remember in the spider video how the spider made a half-assed web when it was on the caffine? haha! how much latte coffees did you have??

Our minds wander, thoughts ramble through it, often going haywire. I understand, entirely.
We have our days, and our writing can often seem worthless, but if you evoke a response to it in your blog, then it wasn’t worthless at all.

And, besides the point, or, I should say, the point is…you wrote your thoughts…and that is the real issue, you spewed them out….BRAVO!

Why do you want to learn Norwegian?

Lelia

Because a majority of my friends are Norwegian. ;)
