life
Poems seem to have a life of their own. They tell you when enough is enough.
funerals interested mourning people
I'm more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It's not a retail experience. It's an existential one.
eventually generally jump lazy means oriented task
I'm lazy but generally task oriented so having a hoop to jump through means eventually I'll make the effort.
itself pair shape takes
Usually a poem takes shape accoustically - a line or a pair of lines will repeat itself in my ear.
