. . . for some reason I can't write poetry anymore. I don't know. Partly because I crave to hear people talk, just expressing themselves. i didn't like the way alot of forms required the wrapping around of languuage to suit the grammatical form. I always thought that words sounded better free form. Maybe it's because I suck at writing it though. Although I did write a full sestina(sp?) once.

: : Well yeah...I never get mad about the mundane. More about the whole hacking away at our rights, genocidal maniacs on the loose, that kind of thing. I need the catharsis of at least spilling my brains on a page, otherwise it all stays bottled up in my head, and I start smelling burnt toast.
