It's a beautiful day, City. Make the most of it.

I need your advice. I'm looking for something to read, something that isn't poetry. Knowing I can't just makes me want to read more! Anything, really. Novels or essays or, I don't even know, so long as you like it.

Call it a change in perspective.

There are a hundred thousand lines that'd suit today and I can't remember one. Still. It's a small price to pay.

Yeah. Well Wordsworth said... He said...

It wasn't even in a poem, it was an essay, wasn't it...

Whatever he said it must have been relevant.

Wordsworth is never irrelevant.

How long do you have to go without poetry?

[had_not_lived]

Two weeks. It's not bad-- not at all, it's just that they needed something but breaking a deal must be easier than making it-- but it's... strange. I know that I know these things but I just can't think of them. Books look blank, and if people say things I just don't hear it.

What do you see when I type this?

THE world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

Nothing under What do you see when I type this? except space. Or-- I don't know, it's like looking at a page of typing from the page before-- if I can squint I can see there's something there, maybe letters, but not read it.

Interesting. No matter; it was irrelevant.
