Who do you work for?
What?
I am invested in this shit. What does this question mean from this person?! 🤣
Hey… hey man .. look — the poem, it doesn’t work for anyone, it’s just words, yeah? maybe you’d want some better ones, here goes— u been outside & away from screens lately? fresh air & some trees maybe sound good? or a sandwich, a nap after, curled up with a fuzzy cat? then you could wake up a bit fresher & stretch real big & stare out, & it would all seem nicer, people’a faces lit with kindness, yeah?
& even if ya can’t get some of that for real, wanna just sit still & imagine it? I’ll sit over here & I’ll imagine it too, & as you read this, I’ll be doing it back here when I typed it— I’m seeing you feeling better, sighing in relief, yoir face relaxing, your eyes quieted, your heart just a few drops more full. see— now you’re doing ok. I’m gonna be right here, ok?
I like weird poetry, but I have a hard time with the structure of this poem. This is for all intents and purposes prose, so why the unnecessary indentation that just makes the poem more difficult to understand?
That would be a question for the poet I'm afraid. I love the subject though
