On audio novels and a new poem
I have not been driving for a few years. Tried to listen to a few full audio novels in the car some time ago but found it too distracting to .follow long narratives and drive at the same time (especially while going a long distance on I-95, haha).
I liked hearing lectures about art and poetry on the car’s CD player.
I think people have different brain types. Some can concentrate well or even better with music or audio novels on; some are distracted by it. For a while, I did a lot of work at cafes that had music. But the coffee also helped with concentration.
A poem
“Fog” by yours truly
Fog blocks the foothills
Like some block memories with their wills,
But don’t throw yourself out the window sill;
Just sit still.
