Extrapolations
This is the way I are.
You know, you can write a big, long paragraph to say something creatively, erase it, then write another big, long paragraph to say exactly the same thing in completely different words. Then you can do it it three, four, five, ten times and still say exactly what you needed to say in the first place. You can expand the language, symbolize the dialect, enunciate your technical meanderings, shade your creative prose with split meanings, paint a nearly unrecognizable and abstract painting with your words, dumb down the prose, or even say it bluntly, outright. No matter what, it's going to mean the same thing to you and a hundred different things to others.
Sometimes I'll write out something, look back at it, and decide it's too hard to make out the meaning, or too easy (flip-flipside on you), and rewrite it. I wrote out the first sentence of this entry differently three times, in three LONG paragraphs, then, after erasing each one, put a stupid rap quote.
But it works.
So fuck me, right?
