IMPROMPTU #141: Unknowns
I love a list poem. Today, write a list of unknowns. If you’re having trouble getting started, try beginning each line with “unknown.” Unknown: my ancestors. Unknown: the colour of tomorrow.

“Empirically speaking, we are made of star stuff. Why aren’t we talking more about that?”
- Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
What else could we be talking more about?
Write a list of things that are mysteries to you.
Here are some of mine:
Pugs.
Car engines.
Men who are super into knives.
My brain.
The Internet.
