Jus' Thinkin'
A tick and a tock and your life is ruled. Ruled in the sense of a ruler. A tape measure. Seconds pile into minutes, and then roll into hours, and soon enough the hours have poured into fat bags of days called “weeks,” which in turn get carted off in lumbering trucks called “months.”
But in certain unexpected moments of infinite speed, the mind races faster than the steadily, relentlessly marching...

something old and new.
I have had this idea in the back of my head for awhile. I have wanted to invent or least to participate in popularizing a new form of writing: paragraph poetry. It would be a form where only a paragraph would suffice in itself, and within that paragraph could be found hints of rhymes, of assonance, and of suggested rhythm.
