i’ve learned how to do a rubik’s cube in under 40secs. staying productive but the cube has cut literary time short. i always have been more spatially oriented during the changing of the seasons. i guess it started with my childhood. when those warm rays of sunshine relieved those winter chills and invited me outside to play, my introspective brain turned outward towards the shapes & objects around me. aka cube

i understand the irony of failing to read a book about a man who fails to take action (Oblomov). chat, if anyone has any words, mean or kind, to inspire me, please drop them below.

sidenote: how can i be expected to write like i speak and not use 3 commas per sentence. i believe that life is unfair for some.
