Read-Aloud is a totally different experience
from just reading.
I write, usually,
to be read allowed
– although sometimes
there are words I use because I looked them up
and I don’t know how to pronounce them
(how fucking pretentious is that?).

I’ve taken to practicing reading pieces
before performing them,
something I didn’t used to do
because I was so frigging smug.
I may be reading
– and editing –
better because of this new practice.
Maybe I should consider this practice
before I send them out to the world though, huh?
Something to think about.

Anyhow, it’s interesting
how the forms diverge
the reading and the writing,
and something I sometimes keep in mind
and sometimes don’t.
