All The Things You Never Asked

All The Things You Never Asked is a collection of phone notes woven together into an abstract portrayal of author Nicholas Bonarski's waking life, as he sees it, without the anticipation of an observing audience.

In the form of a poem, this work features dream journaling, emotional debris, self-talk, and innocuous life details that would otherwise have lived dormant in the deep void that is his phone notes app, where he supposed the momentarily cathartic writing would remain unseen forever. Like an unearthed tomb, this odd piece of narrative reveals both the mundane and absurd artifacts of the mind, taking its readers on a journey through the ups and downs of Bonarski's inner dialogue in productive and wholly nonsensical ways. What could be going through the head of the person standing next to you on the elevator? All The Things You Never Asked seeks to answer that in a palatable way and reminds us that the human experience is unique and at its best, amusing.
