Freewrite Entries Week 4

Both of this week's free-write sessions are in question form... but different approaches.

Entry 1: Text Messaging Found “poem”
You at the game today? You’re coming over later today, right?! When are you done with classes? Does it feel like you are walking around in a lucid state? When do you want to hang out? You coming tonight, lil hippie girl? How was the party? What should we do? My mom was like… is he the good looking one? How did you sleep? Did you know that the number one cosmetic surgery in the UK right now is to get your vagina reshaped? You want to watch Jeopardy b4 trivia and get our brains ready to win? Is there anything you won’t eat? Are you packed and ready to fly? How does the future look? You already bought the ticket, right? How are you, my love? Maybe there is something to this? Can I just sit and sing you “Mr. Tamborine Man” for the rest of forever? Where are you and why isn’t it here?

There is more to this one but it is hard to scroll through my texts... ha

Entry 2: AmRo
Emily, why are you so sad? Why won’t you come out to play? Do you like the birds Emily? Can you hear them from your window? Do you like their songs? Or do their conversations bother you, on and on of nothings and hunger you can’t understand? Do you remember when we were weightless birds ourselves cawing from tree tops to my mother at the kitchen window? Do you remember Sundays with me – I know it’s been a while but – do you remember the lake water staining picnic blankets and cut grass and play red rover with us? Have you caught cold, Emily? Or is it something I’ve done? Are you still mad about the time I didn’t know we were just playing haircuts? Do you remember my apology? Is it cold in your little room, or stuffy? Do you sleep well at night? Sweet Emily, doesn’t the 40 watt dusty air choke you? Do you miss breathing? Or did you find out this was better- like me- do you ever just want to stop? Were you scared?
Emily, the sun won’t come out anymore… do you think there is room in your attic for me?
