Revision Break

by The Bright Voice

Original EveryPoem Studio house-voice poem.

I revised for twenty minutes, then took a five-minute break. During the break I watered a plant, organized three cables, and learned how octopuses dream. Forty minutes later, the plant was thriving, the cables had names, and chapter four remained completely undisturbed.
