EASIER SAID THAN DONE

"HOW VAIN IT IS TO SIT DOWN TO WRITE WHEN YOU HAVE NOT STOOD UP TO LIVE."

I don't want different things in life. I want different lives and to be able to swing between them.

Looking for stories.
One for each day.
In a book or a movie.
To find beginning, middle, end, hope and a hint of magic.

Would be heaven to have the luxury to lock myself in a room and read feverishly. Finding all the words and meaningful sentences that concretise my own garbled thoughts. 'I' seems more and more to be ruining the flavour of a sentence. Reading others who write what you mean(would have liked to mean)affords the simultaneous pleasures of self-effacement and self-indulgence. How I would like to unbear the lightness of being!

Thoughts crawling, wriggling, stretching, sticking their thin necks out to become an 'outpour'. All running together, falling atop each other, 'I first, you second.'wild wild wild. hesitant about audience. grammatical and syntactical inhibitions still not shed. the time in getting to caps lock loses a thread. start anew. always strongly felt artist should't force any claptrap down the audience throat under garb of experiment. also reservations about taking the abstract too far. same feelings about not understanding the absurd enough still trying to use same. why this. and here too. purging
