An experiment- this
Columbian coffee,
Columbian music in
Iqaluit
There's an edge
not well defined
but walking a precipice
in fog, is half
the
fun.
(Landing on a definition
is the other half.)

Writer's Diary #5- Untitled
*This is a very, VERY first draft. In fact, there may not be any subsequent drafts- I might just scrap the thing altogether. It was written during my 15 minute break at a local coffee shop. The rushed attempt will no doubt be obvious...

"the fun" was not meant to be italicized. I was trying to get the words falling directly under "half". Simply leaving spaces didn't work (Blogger ignored them) and so I tried placing them as a quote (since Blogger usually indents those automatically), however it also italicizes them. I'm sure I could fool around with my settings to work it out but:
a) Not interested/no time
b) worried that the changed settings will affect previous/future posts
Don't change the settings!!
Columbian culture in aqaluit - that invokes such a feeling of change, of the encroachment of other cultures. I guess that's the precipice which is so fun.
I'm not so sure any rushing is obvious.
Barbara,
Exactly. Change is fun, but has consequences. A good one being that we find out more about who we were in the first place, even if it is post hoc.
Rj, Thanks. I haven't decided to scrap it yet!
Yay! I understood a poem! I rule.
