N/A :: ‘these are the 100 poems of varied length that i wrote today’ by santino dela

‘these are the 100 poems of varied length that i wrote today‘ by santino dela // self published, 2012

N/A

seems that there are 100 poems

not sure b/c it’s not like 

i read them all

what should we do with this ‘review’

what if i put more time in  this ‘review’

than santino did in writing these poems

what if i put more time in ‘reviewing’ 

your ‘book’

than you you did in ‘writing’ it

seems like all #quickshit (#QS) is not bad

(((will use only #QS from now on b/c it’s quicker yeah)))

like totally confused about ‘blogs’

POST ON YR BLOG POST ON YR BLOG

seems like some blog posts are better than others

seems like some poems are better than others

seems like some short stories are better than others

seems like some posts/poems/short stories on your blog are better than others

some #QS is good // some #QS is bad 

seems like we’re all ‘storming our brains’ 

some #ideas are good // some #ideas are bad

seems like this is part of the writing process

seems like you have to go to some dead ends

just to make some nice connects

//

no. 40

this is taking place in a world not unlike your own

my phone has not rang today

‘seems bleak’ comes to mind

everybody is sleeping

it is early in the morning

nobody wants to rise and shine

i woke up before the sun rose

and watched it rise

i think it inspired me

to write 100 poems

//

some stuff we just say

some stuff we really mean

how many poems do we have to write before we mean ‘something’

or mean ‘nothing’ at all

someone tell me this ‘magic number’ and i’ll let the ‘number crunchers’ know yeah

//

seems like this is ‘impossible’ to review

seems like i can’t take this ‘seriously’

no one ‘asked’ me to do anything

i just found it via 

santino didn’t ask for this

you didn’t ask for this

it’s jsut here

like are these ‘lost’ santino drafts that no one was supposed to ‘see’ or somtehing

except he put it there for someone to ‘see’

who is asking ‘for what’?

//

no. 46

i forgot that you were a person fighting a hard battle for a moment and i accidentally judged you but i caught myself and smacked myself on the butt and told myself to grow up and i did and now i am a big tall tree and i am this beautiful thing that just is and is not bothered or moved by externalities

//

seems like my computer quit

seems like i wrote a better ‘review’ yesterday

it was like gone and we think the ‘lost’ draft is somehow ‘purer’

like refining something has no meaning 

seems like this review is #QS

//

what is a ‘draft’

is it just something to be nervous about

is it just something to tell yr teacher you did

is it just something that you work out in your head

is it just something on tap

is it just something you sketch

is it just something you try 

by writing 100 poems in a day

// 

seems like santino could write 100 poems everyday

maybe this was the best day ever

//

just wrote down my grocery list ‘really quick’

just wrote ‘i love you’ ‘really quick’

santino can type 100 #QS poems per day

i can type 1/2 a #QS review per day

what is your #QS per minute (((#QSPM))

will rank everyone by their #QSPM

who would have the highest #QSPM score?

//

practice makes perfect or something except when everyone watches you practice then you feel like it’s not practice except you tell everyone you’re ‘practicing’ and invite everyone over then it’s just a spontaneous event of improv which sometimes can be ‘special’ like ‘honoring’ the creative process we’re all honing our #QS skills until there’s nothing left to think long anddd hard about, and we’ll always have the #QS excuse to avoid

judgment

or 

criticism

or 

getting better

then what
