Yet, I find it hard to apply to text in a stream or limit the colors of words... in that sense a return to pencil and paper that I can write my name on a screen without it as jagged as an MD's proscription,. But what is self-expression as Foucault said will we write (erase) ourselves out of the play... in the dew damp of morning, water color drops from gentle rain... that we hunger for so hard to get, to learn past closed doors of early learning magic... when the world could say a lot with a few strokes and smudges like your poem....L.
