Before she quit her cubicle life, before she became Mom, before she got old, Julie U. Brown wrote poems in her spare time. It became breath for the soul-sucking view of a blank cloth wall in a building with dried out and dead air. It solved the problem of multiple phones clanging, desiccated documentation, pointless attendance at meetings, and being told that 'nobody is ever going to read this anyway.' She wrote Little Rocks in protest of the engineer who told her that the lack of a verb in a sentence was irrelevant. She knew that without poetry, without art, without music, there might be no more reason to breathe. These days, she finds poetry everywhere, in the sky, in the leaves, in the water, even in old computers that wanted to die, but didn't.
