letting words run as they will

like waking up a mass of clay

as haphazardly as thrown

on a potter’s wheel

just to have a starting point

and at least get something

out into the open

where it can at least be seen

and then shaped and refined

so better to have it out haphazard

just to get a start

rather than nothing at all

and refining thin air

and making the mind sick

by refining itself

for lack of anything else
