I could never write how I was taught

never became accustomed to normal structure

I write my name over and over

cursive and not

trying to turn the “j” a certain way

and end the “a” how it’s supposed to 

stress the hump on each “n” stroking just a little harder

(never looks like anyone else’s)





always 



	m	

		o

			v	i	

					n	g



never  in  a straight     	line



(I’m like that)



(m o v i n g)	 never on the same path



digress, progress, transgress

all at once

without the proper definitions



I’ll 		stop

		     	g		o



bumpintoanotherword



compass always pointing North



(it isn’t about you/ it isn’t about her)



always bringing it up



I can write it down

not think twice



because I am always 	mooooooooooooooooooooovvvving



different path tomorrow

I write against today

bumpingintowords

from yesterday.
