What do you choose? A self-aware writer.

What is your primary sense?

What do you choose to do?

Do you choose to see?

Do you choose to hear?

Do you choose to taste?

Or do you choose to touch?

Do you choose to smell?

Do you choose to use your sixth sense, i.e. use your intuition?

What verbs are hardly ever present in your personal language?

Do you choose to know?

Or do you choose to inquire?

Do you choose to compare?

Do you choose to remind yourself of something?

Do you choose to be embraced?

As a writer, what are you more likely to note down: a fungus disease, a rough stone or a maturing fruit?

What are you sensitive to?

Senses are our privileges and our occlusions.

And what does speed do to them?

Note to self from 2015, as relevant now as back then. :)

Cloud formations

forever stretched by paper

cloudy

imprecise

care without a blank space

is neither supreme nor wise
