Every text a poem I just realized that's much of why I love texting. →[More:]Just sent this one:

left cell @ wk-
call hm # if you want.
PMS bitchy tho
plus boring cold class
plus burrito impaled on e- brake.
Bath time

And you know what? They're ALL like that. God bless the 130 character limit. Strict limitations lead to better art- the proof is in the texting.

plus boring cold class
plus burrito impaled on e- brake.
Bath time

I sincerely believe this. Limitations are freeing in things artistic. What do you have to do differently to get the meaning across when you can't just spew? Wonderful things happen.
