Three keys we had cut
Three keys, and not a one, here
Found!! and yet…. one lock: broke
The couch makes the room
Chocolate brown, it’s ours, for real
Then – heart and it, sunk!
Sure, it can be fixed
or, we’ll get our money back
yet i crave perfect
laptop replacement
new work machines: fast, sleek, new
i liked the old one
Still, the day has come
new laptop, new world arise
I’m 50th from last

No time to write? Try 60 second doses.
Okay, so usually I’ve been told, have benefitted from, and would recommend 60 MINUTE doses (or at least 10 minutes). Still, there’s something to even shorter spurts for kicking up ideas even when you’re feeling none.

ME
Careful. You have to be careful. You’ll break it without the box
WASHWORDS
It’s only the box that could break. It’s the box that is made of glass,threatening shards of red and glass that prickle and stab that heart.
ME
Not if you don’t move it. Ever. Never ever open or adjust it.
WASHWORDS
If you don’t move it, it cannot breathe and it will die.
ME
Still. Safe.
WASHWORDS
And dead.

What walls do I want to knock down?
The jagged glass ones that seduce and appeal and dazzle and, on occasion, choke my heart.
