Reading Break

Some Things I did during my reading break:

Walked down to the beach

Walked along the beach to a waterfall

Drank a handful of waterfall water

Noted waterfall water’s melted-ice taste

Thought about how the waterfall sound

would make a nice ambient audio texture

In Addition,

Read POETIC TERMS (A QUICK LIST

including both things I know by heart and things I will never remember)

Read some stupid poems by a guy named Carmine Starnino

Wished I knew This Way Out of Reading Poetry You Don’t Like For Class

Futhermore,

Tried to write a poem about the geode on my desk

Tried to write a poem about a burnt-down candle on my desk

Gave up writing poems about the things on my desk and tried to write a simple poem about the way waves bend light and make the seabottom look likes it’s folding up in tandem with the water's surface but realized no one reading my poem would have noticed this or know wtf I was talking about and gave up

Tried to write a Resume for a work/study job

Rode a bike built for someone half my size to the corner store (in the rain)

Rode a bike built for someone half my size back from the corner store (in the rain)

In Conclusion,

Wrote some homework about why Balzac’s Un Episode Sous La Terreur is still relevant after 180 years—see above
