Wait. What?

When he isn't talking your ear off about existentialism, pro-wrestling and the incredibly interesting things that happen in his comparatively mundane life, Dan occasionally writes the poetry he mentions so often. Here it is.

Spontaneity


He considers spontaneity.
Thinks about leaving.

When he does
He will take off his socks
Roll them in to balls and
Place them in his running shoes.

The contents of his tattered leather wallet
He will arrange on the bedside table
Unnecessary receipts
Old train tickets
Credit, debit and membership cards
A condom.

He will put the wallet in his left pocket.

On his phone
He will record a greeting to inform that he
“Can no longer be reached at this number”
Turn the phone off and place it on charge.

The shoes
He will place together
Heels to the step at the front door.

He will lock the door and post his key through the letter-box
Feel the world rise through his naked feet
Spread his toes
And go.

He thinks about leaving.
He considers spontaneity.
