the flow

I've tried writing stuff like this before, journals and the like, but I always end up without anything to say that arises out of spontaneity. Eventually, regardless of how hard I apply myself, I end up with either nothing to say that is really helpful, genuine or important. Rather everything comes out contrived, like a chore, a response to an obligatory need to fill space.

"What's the matter?"
"There's no water pressure, I can't get the shampoo out. If I don't have a good shower, I'm not myself. I feel weak and ineffectual. I'm not Kramer."
