      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pages, flat, wide
mossy teeth
  just the inside
a gut
  storing leftover unnecessaries
    quickies of joy—now lard
simple devices: a pen
  creation: create or conserve your energy?
make some great shit
  that I can read in 5 years
    never know or care for its greatness now
just give me a reason to live THEN,
  when I need it.
creativity [excitement] constrained
  to a glowing screen
world: send your leaves falling
  your cold into my bones
    your waves into my ears
show me something again
  I can love.</p>
