EMPTY MOVES by Robert Philbin

Some days you just don’t feel like it.
It’s a vacuous moment, and you’re exhausted,

expecting nothing. Like any scene in a Sofia Coppola
film. It’s like the man said. If we didn’t love

fashion, we’d all be naked. I think it’s good
to be naked. Lacking inspiration, focus, we accept

the decadent without obsession for nostalgia
or language. Creativity is mysterious, the man says.

How to translate what he sees, into what he makes.
Some days, you just don’t feel like it.
