Extravaganza
... ...
I am staring at a blank page
The words are not flowing
And I long to be at home
I have a kindness poem
Blurring and remaking my mind
I brainstorm on the prompts I write
I am grief-stricken for my thoughts
I teleport unfinished verses...
They reappear with completed stanza
Extravaganza
I check out a new book three times a week
But the pretty librarian does not want...
... To go on a date with a man like me
So I wish upon a satellite...
Because stars are imagined things
So at an agreed hour I enter a bar
Brisk pace ... Then the police comes in
The clientele have undergone a transformation
I collect my inspiration or pass it
Then the opposition spies
But my pretty muse confirms...
I speak to no one, I contact nobody

I enjoyed this piece for the observational quality that it lends to my imagination as I read. I liked the layout of this piece, and how the short & concise construction of the stanzas really work to move from one thought to another.
I was literally listening to “Chinese Satellite” by Phoebe Bridgers as I read this and the parallels to your wishing on a satellite image instead of a star really echoed that track whole heartedly. It was odd in its parallels.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed this.

What a coincidence!...
Yesterday I read on Playboy magazine online - June 2020-
*How Art Comes True*: A Timely Talk With Phoebe Bridgers
"Punisher", Bridgers’s eerily prophetic new album.

Why would you need to contact anybody, the inner workings of your mind and your observations are sufficient enough! Clever write, Marks, i enjoyed the creative cynicism very much it makes everything somehow seem positive
