"A question I refuse to contemplate as without words there's only a body here. I have enough trouble as it is expressing myself. It's why I stay quiet, reserved and shy.

Yet the words seem to flow whenever I put them in this person stanza."

Even though over the years I took various, like, detours direct through blogging, playwriting, poetry. I never really stopped doing so like I like it felt like this was my thing because I didn't really have anything else that I could say point to say."

"But I don't really have much else to say regarding this poem. April's coming up, which January took a century to get through. And yet February and March went faster than the blink of an eye. And yet here we are at the end of March, heading into the month of April, a quarter of the way through 2025. April's also national Poetry Writing Month. So I'll be writing a p.

But that night I did not speak to I barely spoke. All I did was eat and drink and make circuits around the various stations, far quiet from when I'm there in the morning on Mondays when it's quieter."
