My oldest friend is doing an Ironman Triathlon today, so in solidarity I am going to draft 2.3 notecards, outline 111.4 pages (one act of a new novel), and edit 26.6 sentences.

Dr Bush Wazee,

made a Make It Worse
machine.

At first, subtle slow downs. Movements, meant to,
didn’t.

Rushing became
trickle, leisure became
mandates for unthinking

neurons negated

faces froze

grotesque
mouth-o
pantomimes.

And then, became
never again.
