Fourteen Word Summit With Yesterday
She needed fourteen words to complete her writing block. She recapped her day thusly:
A day of sickness. Here comes sickness… baby, baby, won’t you hear my plea. A stomach unhinged. A head stuffed with fog. A need for something different and not sure how to think about it or how to effectuate it. A drone of television buzz. Bah, it does no good! Read, read, read all day long in delirium. Eat a can of beans, that’ll put you right. Blah blah and hiss… and such is the recounting of a day not too far into a new year…
“Use your head, can’t you, use your head, you’re on earth, there’s no cure for that!”
— Samuel Beckett / Endgame
