Poem: Customer Experience Is Very Important to Us


Customer Experience Is Very Important to Us

Basic services are available
for a reasonable rate
plus applicable fees, surcharges,
state, county and federal taxes,
licensing charges, etc, etc, with payment
to be made well in advance and entirely up front
before scheduling an appointment
for one of our friendly, well-
trained, professional
technicians to survey and prepare
the residence in order to ascertain
if additional work will be required
in advance of any actual installation,
all of which will need to be done
at customer expense, to be paid,
again, in advance of scheduling
any appointment for service, then, once
any issues have been resolved, a certified
installation technician will be
informed to make contact
to schedule the appointment
for the installation at some time
during, or within an hour of,
one of our convenient six hour
appointment windows.

A Writer's Notebook, Day Two-Hundred-And-Fifty

Each of the three pieces I wrote today was a bit of a struggle to get going, if I am honest.  That happens, as I have mentioned, and my answer is generally to just wait it out, and the results vary.  A lot of the time, if I am really stuck, I might try to force something out, often it winds up being a bit meta, with me writing about being stuck without much in terms of inspiration, and it feels a bit like I am working scales in a way.  All the aesthetic decisions are there, they just don't always have a lot of purpose behind them, and that is fine in that context.  Essentially, I am just forcing myself to do the work, and getting it done, and I am showing myself that I can and will do it even if inspiration never strikes.  This can often take pressure off, and that lack of pressure opens up creative thinking and inspiration.

Poem: Already Over

Already Over Moments pass away faster than we can even notice them: it takes time for the light that hits the eye to be understood as an image, let alone for the body to respond. It may only be fractions of a second, but what we think is now has already ended. Yet, somehow we can act upon this world as if we are present in the present, and not trapped just a few moments in the past.
