Poem beginning with a line by Brittany Baldwin

There are ways people solve you
Brittany Baldwin

Finally found our Western groove:

I will show the strength of laws. Man will only find truth when he searches for truth. Life has its laws. I don’t believe in laws. I am eternal. I hate dramas. I already met you in the future, I don’t need to meet you in the past.

The sky is like a painting.
Happy, with a hint of confusion. Always.
In every car there’s a story.
Your ultimate identity is totally open space.
It’s OK to take naps, as long as you wake up.

I don’t wanna be a scumbag of the earth.
Intentionality is not my forte.
I never really thought too much about algae.
I knew him as a poet, an affliction we shared.


The great poet and chef
Brittany Baldwin

  1. Collage poetry--what fun! You inspired me to try my hand at it with the same sources but using a different line for a title: "I Knew Him as a Poet, an Affliction We Shared."
