since I'm not sure what to write about today I guess I'll ask the class for some suggestion. No one will answer of course, since this blog is so individualized (is that the right word, I'm not sure, but who cares since I can practically write whatever I want to :) ). I'm working on this poem and I'm not sure where to take it next:
Title: This is kinda for a no one
Dear Johne,
I know you’ve been watching me
Because I’ve been watching you
I think it’s time to stop, now
Stop looking out the window
For a tomorrow that will never come
Why don’t you ease yourself into
Your cold bed and settle in
Between your lonesome sheets, hmm?
Don’t wait for me to kiss your clammy
Forehead. Just kiss your hands and sing
Yourself a lullaby close your
Eyes and whisper my name
“God’s never been closer to you”
Dear Johne,
You’ve been walking with death in front
Of your toes and life behind your heels.
You’re frown has never been as deep.
I want to be God in the poem, but I'm not sure how to make this clear without stating: I'M GOD. Maybe just having it up with give me the motivation I need to finish it.

I meant: Maybe we should be given a general question to ANSWER each week? Oops my bad!
