I followed the prompt and did a prose poem for a post card.
Post Card: Rules to Live by
Please mention to your five year old self that spoons are for noses and forks are for music. The tenor and alto are not for your vocals, only soprano will do. Try harder. Then try a little harder until the hard becomes a rhythm and write using a pen, not a pen using you. The music stops and you stop. Our robotic envy, we need to see the movement of others, we need the sound of their breath to assure us that we breathe too, that we live too.
