Process

The other day I was chatting with Primus St. John and mentioned my changing writing process, i.e. working in the head the same but taking longer to get to the page, if I get there at all. He, too, has experienced this as he ages. He told me the story of a colleague who told him, I wrote one of the best poems of my career the other day but I forgot to write it down and now I can't remember it.

I swear to God, I have a lot more respect for the mumbling senior citizens on our streets than I used to have (now that I apparently am getting ready to join them ha ha).
