Unmade

Jess shot me the mp3 file for her song “unprepared’ a couple days ago contradicting her song title but, what’s one to do?
     We hadn’t talked about a specific theme but I loved the subject of her song. I have lots of experience with being unprepared and more over dreams where I’m unprepared. Mostly my dreams place me in a classroom without my homework, or with some test that I haven’t studied for at all. What hadI been doing for the past few months when I should have been studying? I couldn’t tell you. Anyway, I worked with ‘unprepared’ as a start for my song. And somehow unprepared morphed into unmade. What I really wanted to do as I started to get into the song was make everyday things like making bread (o.k., like once a year things) tell the story of what was going on between the two people in the song. It’s not perfect but I like a lot of what’s there. Hemmingway says I should kill those bits, but that’s a different blog entry.
