For the record: I tried to make a header to fit minima stretch. It doesn't. It now is too large for minima. I m too tired.

Words, need a Nib of Life

it's been a long while since I last wrote a poem. So long ago, like 9 months ago that I wrote one last. I did not know it had been this long. It felt so long like may be I don't write poetry anymore.

I wished I could stay through the concert but I had to leave for the last day of my dramatics practice, my play being on Friday.

All through we rehearsed, we checked out costumes, we set the lights, we painted the sets, we slept 9 of us in a tiny room, we had random 'chemistry games', we tried improvising and basically we had loads of fun. In between, I slipped off f
