playing my emphases like harp strings

mile marked envelope, two ill-fitted birds,

one action and it all stops
but that action means there will never be.

Bitlets are about quantity, not quality. Free-write at least one a day about what is on your mind, going on around you, or the state of your life. Ignore the urge to edit; it's not about being profound on purpose, it's about stumbling on it by accident.About this Bitlet
An extension of Bitlet 22 that talks about French being the notes you don't play. For those unaware, the Hawaii'n alphabet only consists of 18 letters, hence the comparison made above.Browse Bitlets
