longform minimalism

Today's Sole Surviving Photograph by Me (Schenectady, NY, 20 August 2013)
I've spent less time than usual this year writing poetry or about poetry, but I'm not sure how quickly I can claw back to it, so I'll start slowly. Today, at work, I wrote a short poem, in one-second bursts throughout the day, ending the poem with four words I'd written yesterday.

My process is to take 5" X 8" black cards to work (bought with my own money) and to scribble down words or wraw out fidgetglyphs whenever I think of them. No cost to the state, and done in the time it takes to draw a breath.

So now I'm left with this weird fragmentary poem, and I'm thinking that this is the beginning of a new sequence of poems, practices in serial minimalism. Send word if any of the below makes sense. Or not.

I like it myself, but I'm biased in favor of cryptic and fragmented.
