Trying to get back to writing, I'll pull out a few of the things I wrote last winter. Maybe bringing these things to the front of my mind will help get more words moving. So here's a (kind of)free verse poem, Thinking Thing - (what you see below is something like version 2 or 3 of this poem)
Here's a new idea. (no, there's no such thing)
I'm thinking white on white. (it matches everything)
I don't need to see what I think. (seeing doesn’t make anything)
Do I need to think to think? (is there really such a thing?)
Do my actions make me think? (is thinking making everything?)
Do things outside lead me to think? (without, can there be anything?)
I think that thinking makes me act. (so thinking makes me do a thing)
Can I know what to do, not what to think? (and must I question everything?)
If I can, then doing does not make me think. (and nothing makes me do anything)
