6.10

[As I face day four of the ten-day sprint of sustained creative effort between now and the start of summer camp, I am forced to ask myself why I find solace from creativity on this blog. Why do I keep running here to avoid my responsibilities?]

Cats wreck thatch.
Claws rasp 'till they're
    cut, rough tools.

[I like thinking about where we make sounds in our mouths. I like thinking about the sounds in this poem move forward in the mouth like they're being pushed from behind. I like thinking about how this poem would be ruined for non-rhotic extremists. It would be ruined for Jonathan Ross.]
