Stream of consciousness

write without thinking

blinking the grit of of my eyes

while I try to surprise myself

with new ways to lie to myself

Don’t take a breath

Don’t even think

Let only the movement of pen

and deposits of ink on a page tell you

all is within and without you

Fetch the Pepper, Sergeant!

We need it for the B side

Freestyle

Give it up for the East Side

Thoughts

I finally hit 50,000 words in my novel and finished the third arc of part two. Sounds like a lot of Maths. Glad I got a GCSE in it.
