Paul was

“Remember by the creek the concrete drainpipe leading into the city’s sewers?”

Paul was cereal: part XIV

[this box of Golden Grams was opened on 1 February]

 

Paul was Billy Reston’s bus stop. & then Karen Green. & then William Navidson. Time to finish this problem. Pray for a traffic jam. A holdup. Apileup. A Russian nuclear strike — though Reading was prepared:

 

 

 

& then maths magic danced through Paul’s sleepy skull. Numbers shifted. Algerbraic logic prevailed. Paul was about to scribble the solving steps & then an orange streak from below latched onto Paul’s leg…

 

What is this Wes Craven retrogression? Will Paul finally free himself of such orange hauntings?

 

Tune in tomorrow for Part XV of “Paul was cereal”

Paul was skimming, or skipping, brief hops or jumps, kind of working outside the constraints of counting or always saying the same.

Paul was based on reading date, order | experience | to change.

Paul was echoing back on himself. Pens in a small cup, desktop. Phone feedback. Squeaky chair for sitting in. A bus sound when stopping. Secondhand dreams. Next to a yule log fireplace. Small notebooks define sentence length, as in, in my pocket the writing must be contained. Ice Storm. Nickelback.

What is the form of fiction online?

Sending out catch phrases, terms that will be netted, or hot topics. Boxing Day. Long lines at department stores returning gifts. Images increase traffic. How to use your new pressure cooker. Listserv. Left a trail of children across the country. A guide to quick cooking.

Does space serve a sentence better?

The reason for founding. Couldn’t get close as there were no parking spaces anywhere. Mild sexual content. Nutrition Services provided an Elegant Dining experience, including special request food items, linens, & formal place setting. Bring it back. # of graphs. An unhealthy addition to internet gambling. Long lines at department stores retuning gifts.

Does text blocks serve a sentence better?

Wound woven rugs; the lighthouse; English gardens; top toy of 2008; inset image here; ice tea made from a mix; how to recycle paper; the Polar Express; some assembly required; no need for a tie; out the window row houses, but the kind you could almost picture yourself in; political signs; muscle memory; tea time; all the items in Aunt Lori’s kitchen; insert image here; sem;colons could go on forever; A small narrative here, about nursing a bird to flight.

Can this be considered discourse on how to write/read/[de]form a poem & still be a poem?

A question, a pause, a pant size. Enjambment with spam. Creating a list of most searched words could increase “hits” but not actual readers. Quoting song lyrics. The most read post being “Paul was Chris” followed by post #429, “Paul was a Christmas Toy.” Adding the “ny” to John makes the singer more friendly, approachable. If all words | terms | search phrases | tags | are said, will the post continuously be retrieved when searching, or, as there is so much other websome floating around, be less likely to be found?

This American Life episode #121: “Twentieth Century Man,” a full hour dedicated to the story of one wandering man taking up the trends of his lifetime; Paul was a preacher-in-training; Paul was an aspiring Hollywood actor; Paul was a self-styled Beat writer; Paul was a man in a gray flannel suit; Paul was a member of the New York literati; Paul was a hippie; Paul was suburbs; Paul was born-again.

The resolution for founding. A guide to quit cooking. Layered. A picture of a perfect family. Allentown. A Christmas Story. Railway tracks. Staying overtime. Place the picked item in the plastic cart, & check off said item on list. Adding length to stop reading. A technique I read about somewhere from Geof Huth’s blog http://dbqp.blogspot.com/, in the review of the alphabet section.

Watch time fly. Pioneered the technique of PET-CT virtual colonoscopy. What is the force of fiction online? Running out of steam. The idea was to spread the long thoughts & ideas around with some loverly interjections. Counting words (six-hundred) & look to January.

The jumps take over.

Pulled from the past. Art. Snack Sized. Network. Paul rode his bike round town every day. Hospital waiting room. Radio. No “authority.” A playground, defined as such despite the lack of equipment such as slide, see-saw, swings, and jungle gym. Use of the Oxford comma. Books. Business. Family. Fashion. What is the farce of fiction online? Life. Music. Politics. Writing. Administration.

There are no drafts at the current moment.

Paul was unread.

Paul was reading about starting to write. His book noted techniques for brainstorming such as “free association,” “word webs,” and “listing.” Paul took to listing nouns, adjectives, & other categories such as verbs, or relating to math, question:, kitchen, and time. Life became a laundry list of past happenings, things Paul was or that Paul had done.

Stenonotebooks filled during the morning bus ride, coffee breaks, slow work days, et cetera.

The materials were waiting to be assembled.

Paul was concerned with reading. Meaning: when words are posted they amass a chronological gravity. A book goes from front to back, top to bottom. A blog goes in reverse, so that the beginning becomes the ending, & the ending a beginning.

Details & personal timelines become skewed with an undefined reading order, because one could read from bottom to top, or, scrolling

top to bottom.

Paul was how few people
will read t his.

Paul was a turnpike reader. Billboards were his literature.
