It occurred to me after I sent the comment that they really weren't, or didn't have to be, prose poems. My bad assumption. But I do like the thought processes. The narrative arc you refer to involves choices that are interesting because they surprise.
Yea. I'm mainly influenced by John Ashbery and Frank O' Hara right now, the poems I post before these were more James Schuyler/Robert Creeley inspired. So I'm glad you noticed and liked the thought processes. Have you read much Ashbery?
I really like this one Adam. decided to sacrifice the clarity of your glasses for bare, blurry eyes When all you want to do is drink until you’re good and blurry those two lines really hit me, with the single word repeated thanks for the great writing

I didn't intend them to be prose poems. But I guess they do have a narrative arc and the line breaks aren't all that important.
