Just a simple little piece of writing.

 
Today I:
made a comic strip people
like using

nothing but my brain at 5am.
Did yoga using nothing
but this old body, these old limbs.

Worked and worked work for
eleven hours on a Monday
even though no

one made me even
though I know 
no one will remember 

today.
Ran a 5k I didn’t even mean to,
but the light was a nice purple,

the dirt mostly sand and 
I didn’t see 
another person for forty-five minutes.

Made a simple
dinner that wasn’t even sad,
only remarkably plain,

and today I wrote
this and even though
it ‘s no good,

I still made it 
today.

Accidental (FTD) Poetry.

I still use a Yahoo email address for some stuff because I have had it for about a hundred and fifty years. It is also the email I use whenever I sign up for things, so all my later marketing (spam-ish) email goes to one place.

Well I just got a marketing email from FTD (because when I am seeing a lady I like to send flowers, because that is the kind of thing one should do) and the way Yahoo mail works you see not just the subject line of the email, but also a brief preview of the text. Well the FTD email was enabled with links and so I saw in the preview the names of the links and this is what I saw:

Shop Birthday Sympathy Questions

How is that NOT  a collection of poetry yet??? Because I am a sporting kind of guy, I will give the internet 24 hours to claim that title and write it, otherwise I am going to have to do it, because obviously that needs to exist in the world.

In Defense of My Bad Poetry.

In Defense of My Bad Poetry
by james bezerra

It’s an art - not a science - writing poetry.
And not all art is always good.
You have to take the bad with the good,
and accept that sometimes it’s going to be messy.
