When you're an adult, what do you talk about? Work, family, work, sex, work, the meaning of life, work. If you enjoyed the poem, you may read it here: https://www.razelibrary.com/2022/12/poem-13-2022.html --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestunner/message

When does a writing habit become a bad habit? And what would you do in that very logical scenario where a genie would grant you three wishes?

99% of the time, we produce something between rubbish and mediocre. This poem is one of those fluff finger exercises that I think has potential, has a bit of strange charm — like the person who inspired it.

You can take this podcast, as with everything else really, as another work in progress. I'm very slowly easing in to the habit of going script-less and talking openly about the creative process. Lots to learn, lots to practice.

In this season, I try to be as spontaneous as possible. Go script-less. The drawback is I get too self-conscious about unpolished sentences and fragmented thoughts. Like in the last part of the commentary. I wanted to say that I would like to believe in a force that holds us together from before the beginning of time and till after it ends — which you may have already figured out — but it came out in a different way.
