my piano has been drinking




so in a few days i'll be gone. im desperate to go.

The key question isn’t ‘What fosters creativity?’ But it is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled?

We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

decipher. but not too much so. ponder, until it shows. until you get the face you deserve. wonder. where does it all go. fluids to alter, sounds to transport.

did i have to know?
is it rebirth, is it true?
how do i get
to be inside
you
