Sometimes I write a letter before I know who I’m writing it to.

Sometimes I sit at a desk with a pencil in my hand and just stare at the wall for an hour, then I put the pencil down and walk out of the room while asking myself “what was I doing…?”

Sometimes I write poems about row boats and ponds in northern Illinois

Sometimes I say normal words wrong like bagel and milk.

Sometimes I untie my shoes wrong and they get all knotted up

Sometimes I untie my mind wrong and it gets knotted up too.

Every time though I get them unknotted up.
