Walden

I have to write — my kid is sick.
I have to write — my cat died.
I have to write — it's summer break.
I have to write — the kitchen's a mess.
I have to write — I chat with friends.
I have to write — I kiss my wife.
I have to write — my dog won't eat.
I have to write — the ants are here.
I have to write — I get a text.
I have to write — I need a job.
I have to write — it's date night!
I have to write — my dog died.
I have to write — I've got a fever.
I have to write — I got a puppy.
I have to write — now back to school.
I have to write — the power's out.
I have to write — the baby cries.
I have to write — the cat died.
I have to write — I need to cook.
I have to write — I sleep too much.
I have to write — the kids are fighting.
I have to write — I found the maggots.
I have to write — the ceiling caved.
I have to write — my skull explodes!

I have to write — the cat threw up.
I have to write — I lie in bed.

I have to write.
I clean, instead.
