There are 98 numbered poems in The End of Something—14 sets of 7 poems, with a note for each poem. These are the notes for poems 22-28 and 92-98.
I’ve been learning Logic (the sound editing app) and making experiments using some of the writing in The End of Something. Talking with the idea of music. I think these experiments will become an EP that I’ll make available when the book comes out.

notes 92-98
Knowing yourself and knowing the future, it’s all part of the same thing, right? We do sometimes know things we shouldn’t be able to know. It happens all the time with dreams.
