A dutiful scholar should never be above the urge to create. Their soul drive is to explore, not to criticize. So, occasionally something creative appears. A muse calls and leaves three voicemail messages, then she sends a few more text messages for good measure. As a responsible individual, the scholar should respond promptly to such urgency. So here is her most recent message:<\/p>\n
Gutters talk

\nA null object and then a thousand more
\nWhy?<\/p>\n
As I stand at the curb
\nI see a blackened spot
\nErod\u2026d\u2026g…

There an image
\nA woman on cell letting it fall
\nUncle in a coma for a surgery which…
\nSomehow…
\nwent “gnorw”<\/p>\n
A broken cell phone clip
\nAnother man running.
\nLate.<\/p>\n
Stumbling and papers falling like<\/p>\n

What about the broken wrapper?
\nLovers parting ways.
\nIt didn’t work…she doesn’t know it…
\nYet.<\/p>\n
Then the twig.
\nA shattered remnant
\nOf a child climbing.<\/p>\n
I wish to move on, but the mind…<\/p>\n

Wandering the infinite in a gutter.<\/p>\n
