1. A poem that tends to pop into your head

It’s Not Like Nikola Tesla Knew All of Those People Were Going To Die by Hanif Abdurriqib

2. One line from a song

‘And the fall's getting cold, you try to catch salt air in an envelope

So you can send it home, sit by the bay alone, sun on your skin’

from Oldest Daughter by The Wonder Years

3. One line from a movie

“No hay banda, and yet we hear a band”

from Mullholand Drive (a quote I actually named a poem after a while back)

4. A word you about for fear of its overuse

I’m generally quite straightforward with my use of language but Love and Death are both very big concepts to fit into words in such common use so I tend to write around them when it makes sense

5. One word that describes me (metaphorically) No explanation

Abstracted

I’m not tagging anyone but if any followers want to post one @ me so I can read it!

For the Poetically Inclined...

Tagged by the irreplaceable @allnightsong2 for a new tag game. Which goes like this...

A poem that tends to pop into your head?- The Orange by Wendy Cope, i carry your heart, e.e. cummings

I see you suddenly alive And nearly smiling Stop and hold my breath And watch the way we used to be

One line from a movie- "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." Silence of The Lambs

A word you avoid for fear of its overuse?- Honestly, N/A
