| 24 | | I didn't write this sestina yesterday. | ||
| 25 | | It's the first time I fell behind in my task | ||
| 26 | | and hopefully, the only time it will. | ||
| 27 | | This means that today I must write two | ||
| 28 | | sestinas. If I don't write them today, I | ||
| 29 | | will have to write two later down the line. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | | Although I feel I'm slogging through each line | ||
| 32 | | I think I'm doing better every day, | ||
| 33 | | though maybe this is wishful thinking: I | ||
| 34 | | showed my friend my just-completed task | ||
| 35 | | two days ago (my God, was it two | ||
| 36 | | entire days? I've no idea what I'll | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | | do [after thirty-nine days][]. I think I'll | ||
| 39 | | feel like [Inigo Montoya][], who'd been in the line | ||
| 40 | | of revenging for so long, he didn't know what to | ||
| 41 | | do with the rest of his life), and he deigned | ||
| 42 | | to be polite, but I could tell the task | ||
| 43 | | was hard for him. He told me finally that I | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | | had made a noble effort, but that ultimately I | ||
| 46 | | failed. [So my question][]: when will | ||
| 47 | | I be a decent sestina writer? For this is my task. | ||
| 48 | | Maybe if I just keep cranking out line after line | ||
| 49 | | I'll finally figure it out. Maybe one more day | ||
| 50 | | or another week will do it, or maybe I'll need two, | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | | or maybe it'll never happen. Maybe a sestina's too | ||
| 53 | | involved, too much [weaving][] of words too fine, and I | ||
| 54 | | will never write a good one, even on my best day, | ||
| 55 | | even if I employ all my skill and all my will. | ||
| 56 | | I'm not used to writing poems with thirty-nine lines, | ||
| 57 | | that must be the problem, must be why this task | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | | is Herculean. He only had to finish twelve tasks, | ||
| 60 | | and I have one less one thousand, five hundred twenty-two, | ||
| 61 | | and it's nothing but complaining lines | ||
| 62 | | about [how hard it is to be a person][]. I | ||
| 63 | | am getting sick of myself with these poems, and will | ||
| 64 | | soon be loathe to get out of bed every day. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | | But I tasked myself with this, which may be the worst I | ||
| 67 | | ever do to myself. I thought a poem NaNoWriMo would | ||
| 68 | | be fun, would line my resume, give me something I could publish someday. | ||
