001. New Beginnings
What's the difference between a new beginning and an old beginning?
Odd question that.
For a beginning to be new must it be original, never tried before, completely unique? New to the world or new only to that which begins?
Or does "new beginning" simply describe a beginning in which something is made new, renewed, brought into new light?
Redundant-- Or is it?
By the simple act of beginning does a thing not become by definition new? By beginning to exist, certainly, but does it not go further? Beginning any sort of action brings the beginner into a new state. By this reasoning, every beginning creates something anew... though that something may not be plain to see.
And so how can there be any beginning but a new beginning?
How can there be an old beginning?
If a man begins his morning the same way every day--with a hot bowl of porridge-- does this new beginning not become old? Must he pour himself a bowl of fruit loops to merit a new beginning?
New beginnings.
Old beginnings.
Old endings.
New endings.
I wonder, would it be a new sort of ending if I just randomly stopped writing in the middle of a senta

002. Cause/Effect
It's time for day two,
But I don't know what to write.
Oh no! Am I doomed?
Short stories are cool,
But I have no ideas.
Why is this so hard?
Pressure is the cause.
The cause for my writer's block.
Pushed to write each day.
But what's the effect?
The effect of pushing back?
Back against the block?
Your brain feels like mush
So you scoop out all the mush
And dump it on the page.
The cause is pressure.
The effect is a clear mind.
A mind free of mush.
And what's the result?
Nothing extraordinary:
A list of haikus.

003. Peace of Mind
Knowing my sister is up to no good.
Knowing she's not going to school like she should.
Knowing that if she breaks into thee home
Everyone's out so she'll be there alone.
Knowing she couldn't care less what is mine.
Knowing she'll steal anything she can find.
No lock on my door and my money inside
How do I get any peace of mind?
