Ceteris Paribus
Jason Gant
- Poems
- as
- observations,
- both
- internal
- and
- external;
- visualizations,
- expurgations,
- catharsis,
- complete
- imagination
- and
- renegotiation
- with
- all
- that
- is.
- My
- poems
- are
- numbered
- as
- a
- poetic-emotive
- index,
- describing
- an
- otherwise
- fairly
- uneventful
- existence.
- I
- don't
- recall
- how
- or
- why
- I
- got
- started
- writing,
- It
- just
- happened
- during
- my
- junior
- year
- of
- high
- school.
- A
- few
- years
- later
- looking
- back
- over
- several
- poems,
- I
- found
- they
- served
- as
- this
- poetic-emotive
- index
- to
- my
- life
- up
- to
- that
- point.
- The
- more
- difficult
- or
- stressful
- things
- became,
- the
- more
- I
- wrote.
- The
- writing
- waxed
- and
- waned,
- and
- as
- it
- started
- up
- again
- it
- would
- be
- different
- than
- the
- previous
- period,
- even
- if
- separated
- by
- only
- a
- few
- months.
- Noticing
- this
- I
- started
- numbering
- these
- poems.
- The
- period
- where
- I
- had
- written
- A
- Thousand
- Days,
- became
- the
- 1000
- series.
- In
- the
- next
- life
- period
- when
- I
- had
- written
- The
- Second
- Thousand,
- that
- become
- the
- 2000
- series.
- That
- convention
- carried
- on
- through
- all
- following
- writing
- periods.
- These
- are
- the
- ones
- most
- worthy
- (or
- appropriate)
- of
- sharing
- with
- you
- kind people.
