There's some baggage
in your brain
that only wandering
can clear
If you travel well,
you lose all your luggage
in your brain
that only wandering
can clear
If you travel well,
you lose all your luggage

whoops, I just found this too
another perfect 17-syllable haiku
She's still tottering up
her bank balance
with a stiff
arthritic hand

Accidentally Found Today
This just now I happened to grab out now from a nearby old notebook.....
(p.s. so damn many of those are already gone due to some extra-efficient housecleaning)
.....
When I re-write over and over, I get tired, and my words can get tired too. Sometimes the original is the freshest. Sometimes, after much re-writing, I may cross it all out and sum it up in different words. This is how to get at the idea in a fresh stream, not a stagnant river, anywhere. not moving.
This is how to approach things I can't finish: read it, and then start over. If I have allowed it to sit a long time, then my ideas should be clearer than when I started. Using the old, hack-ed up part for an outline, I create something fresh.
