Steal from yourself to make a found poem

I'm watching some terrible show This Is Us.  I'm only watching it because Jess from Gilmore Girls is in it.  And I'm still really pissed about the way Gilmore Girls ended.  Not the regular series, well actually that too.  But even more so the reboot.  Why would you not put Rory and Jess together?  Everyone knows they were meant to be.  I hate to sound cliche but it's completely true.  Logical even, to have them end up together.  The literature, the books alone were enough of a reason.  No one else ever made sense for her in the way he did.  No one else was an equal match.  Your gonna tell me lackluster boring dumb Dean was a match for her?  Or the entitled trust fund rich boy prick who also happens to have the personality of a paper towel, Logan was the love of her life?  No.  It was Jess.  It was always supposed to be Jess.  I'm also trying to choose between having some Twix or some Kit Kats, but screw that I'm having both.

backwards- twix, Jess was it, trust entitled, match equal,  even logical, Jess and Rory
forwards- well actually, books alone, no one else, lackluster, no, choose between, having both

Jess was it.
No other match was equal,
no other books alone
could stand on the same shelf.
Jess and Rory
Well actually, Rory and Jess.

No one else
even logical Twix,
could compare.
Lackluster, lacking trust
entitled and having both
could bring her to choose between. No.

I basically just pieced it together as best as I could, making obvious sense as to what I was trying to get at.  I clearly have a hang up about this show and how it ended.  Or did it end?  The world may never know.  Well the world of Gilmore Girls fans.  Anyway I sort of chose at random, but my ramblings were basically all about one thing so it wasn't actually as easy to compile an interesting group of words or phrases after that cause I felt it was a bit limited in vocabulary.  The reasoning for that is pretty much that three minutes of writing goes by much faster than you think.  I figured out where my free writing was going pretty quickly and I just let it flow from the jump.  I found it actually pretty easy but I think that's mostly because it was about something I'm obviously passionate about.  And passionate in an angry, this void isn't going to be filled type of way. Which, not shockingly can be really good for writing.

  1. I think I need to watch this show and eat a Twix. When a poem makes someone want to do something, it's working.
