I want to write a poem
Because poems are.
Poems talk
Poems throw themselves across the page with all the fierceness of an unhinged toddler
Poems are careful
Poems **** people off
Poems shred the written word and scatters it in rhythm you either love or despise
Poetry is the song you forgot the lyrics to
And the words
And the singer
But not the mood.

Quarantine. Isolation. A podcast about Goodnight Moon and the history of children's literature. These are the ingredients to bring a long gone poet back to paper. One impulsive poem, maybe more to follow.
