I mock-up storyboards either for short-films or animations, usually taking the texts from poems or short stories I’ve written. This is one page of many from my first draft. Like many of my poems this one is about relationships, often with incongruent partners. Having been a teenager/young-adult growing up in the AIDS era many of my peers (and family members) chose to stay in “bad” relationships because they new it was “safe.” Plus there was the romanticism of drama, that anxiety = passion, rather than joy producing more joy. That notion was for hippies.

I’ll post the full poem in the “purms” section once I find it.
