So, here's a thing about me: I loop songs. I can listen to the same song (if I like it) dozens of times over days.
I also like fragments of some songs better than the whole, and I can loop the fragments.
I have a similar thing with poems, stories and books.
I know this may not be

exactly neurotypical, but fuck it: my time, my ears, my music, my brain.

It's not that I don't listen to playlists most of the time, but sometimes...I want to hear a particular hook or bass drop or voice inflection over and over.

With poems I don't want to memorise as much as

maybe imbibe the rhythms of the language and hope they rub off on me and show up in my writing.

So.

Yeah.

That's me and my brain.
