I got together with friends at a poetry reading and with one started talking about poetry. We want to create a text-book; a poetry book made up of text poems. The idea of a text poem is not new as follows:

But, how are we able to create something more precise and creative.
1. specific guidelines
2. incorporation of code switching
3. inclusion of text shorthand
Some ideas, but hopefully we create a small booklet for this project. Nothing to big, but we need ideas and means of production. It's time to get creative, although I'm still hoping my Summer I class makes.
I need to submit to a collection being produced. The deadline is June 15th. I need to submit real soon.
Just those thoughts on my mind right now. Maybe this will be considered a text poem by some phone company standards.

we bought some
love last night
and in the morning
left outside in
humidity, love
turned into rotten
frowns and
unanswered calls
