Really enjoyed this exercise. Also funny coincidence, right after finishing this I started listening to the "Smartless" podcast and Jeff Tweedy was the surprise guest. Universe was aligned, I guess!
Reflections: I LOVED this because I get stuck with writing and this immediately eliminated the empty page issue in a way that was very useful. First I had to explore my inner world imagining the action words and then I became more observant of my environment by listing nouns. Great recipe for a creative moment!!
Love both of these! Also I know it's a little confusing as we all get used to Substack but would appreciate if in coming days you can post these in the chat: https://substack.com/chat/

Your face fades as I compare yesterday and today.
Sew now and judge later
The computer smells like it is burning
I listen to my father who is unseen
Cut a picture of the keyboard from the magazine
Map the diagnosis from the symptoms
Visualize chairs on the ceiling
I see my son when I close my eyes
I hear the stereo in my dreams
The blood pressure monitor observes high blood pressure.
Amazing result! Favorite line "Sew now and judge later" I like how you are playful with language.
Wiping lipstick from the old plastic cup
is a tear dripping behind my glasses?
no. my eyes are dry from the exhaust fan
dry like tree bark
falling like a pile of books
smearing pages of unread words
outlining the velvet settee
The cracking of the radiator
highlights a tangle of chords
