I have no idea why, but I have always been fascinated with language; the structure, similarities between regions, the sheer beauty of the way in which some people can express themselves so fluidly with it.

So while I make a terrible poet and am at best merely average with the spoken word, I decided I’d like to be able to express my thoughts in fragmented words, the way they OCCUR TO ME.

I have always felt far more comfortable with written language so poetry makes sense to me. My thoughts tend to happen this way – particles of varying degrees of consciousness bouncing off the inside of my head and occasionally reaching my awareness. They’re interspersed with large gaps where, in contrast, very little happens.

Most of them never come out. Anyway, I wrote this poem.
