How It Becomes A Poem: Part II
I have this weird quirk where a poem will turn into a basket of shit and chips if I start using a different pen than the one I began with. I started this piece at work, where we only use blue Bics. It took me close to an hour to find the right pen on my next shift. And I stole it.

Moving on...

From a jumble of notes I move onto what I like to call just making a big mess with a pen. Trial and error, just like anything, is what really starts to formulate the poem at this point. Do I want this word or that? Does this flow better with the previous line, or does it ruin the following line? I have a set of shorthand notes that are only understandable by me. Seriously, heaven help the future if my scribblings are among the first studied by anthropologists after some epic cataclysm: "I say, Jenkins, there was just no rhyme or reason to the way these primitive folk collected their thoughts!" You may also notice that I can't spell when I'm thinking.

Incidentally, I think this page has some seaweed flakes on it. Seaweed is brain food.

So, it can't be a different blue Bic that you have at home? It has to be the very same blue Bic that you used at work...even though there are blue Bics all over the place at work? So...if I want to be really really evil, I should just steal your pens, eh? :mwahaha: I'll remember that!

Love seeing stuff like this. It's like watching you work...without the waiting around for your next stroke of genius...or crap, as it may be. :giggle:
