I read recently 
some AI slop
describing my writing 
and it took 
me way back 
to high school 
when my English 
teacher embarrassed me 
in front of 
the entire class 
predicting that I 
would never be 
a good writer 
not that I 
ever wanted to 
I have learned 
that disbelief is 
a great motivator 
I have never 
written in order 
to prove anyone 
wrong but rather 
to simply breathe 
for life after 
all is all
I can share 

I picked up 
what was left
and looked decidedly 
was there any 
point of putting 
it back together 
so built anew
I decided to 
do but not 
in some ancient 
style but fresh 
and from nothing 
but now that 
it’s finally done 
I’m already thinking 
what is next 
and what if
I purposely accidentally 
tipped over the 
table top sending 
my last past
onward into oblivion
