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.
