I Think Men Who Can Cry Are

I Just Started Trying To Figure Out How To Write [something] Which Was Unlike Anything Anybody Had Ever Seen, And Once I Felt Like I Had Figured That Out I Tried To Figure Out What Kind Of Book I Could Write That Would Be Unlike Anything Anybody Had Ever Seen.

My Life Is Routine. I Wake Up Early In The Morning. I Brush My Teeth. I Sit On The Floor Of The Cell I Do Not Go To Breakfast. I Stare At A Gray Cement Wall. I Keep My Legs Crossed My Back Straight My Eyes Forward. I Take Deep Breaths In And Out, In And Out, And I Try Not To Move. I Sit For As Long As I Can I Sit Until Everything Hurts I Sit Until Everything Stops Hurting I Sit Until I Lose Myself In The Gray Wall I Sit Until My Mind Becomes As Blank As The Gray Wall. I Sit And I Stare And I Breathe. I Sit And I Stare. I Breathe.
