I was taught to read the proof backward isolate the truth to know the blueprint beforehand as every part must stand alone and qualify itself atone a blend to ring a bellnote whole an ecstacy of symphony somehow "all" which begs for more as if there were a "most complete" as if perfection were my knees aching on the floor for your-- and this is bad advice for life. So order us a coupled drink with shots like notes along the side inched in margins lengthening the missives to myself I add some hieroglyphs, shorthand... talk to me and let the ice melt slow as words upon my tongue teasing till you hear the crunch of my editing, you know, I can't hear a word you say when you look at me that way I study all the glints of breaks [stet] within your eyes I take advice like cherries in my drink citing sensuality knowing you can't think like this watching as I break a mist of juice between the biting need of my teeth on manuscripts that you recite too casually chewing on the stem, I think: this is bad advice for life but how we love to bleed.

The worst thing is... some of these things I taught myself... and that only intensifies the consequences. *S* Wonderful work, dear lady... with replies that leave me smiling... and yeah... hungry. LOL |

I was taught the same way K - as a matter of fact, and your sister will vouch for this, go ask her, I always start from the end and end up at the beginning. (sheesh, you already know that anyhow LOL) This made me see a true writer in the process . . . up there . . . *smile* |
