When I find myself thinking in poetry, I get scared –

That’s the forewarning.

The point where I can’t control my thoughts anymore is when I put my hair up in a ponytail, roll up my sleeves and say “well shit, here we go”. If I’m going to take the plunge, might as well do it on my own terms.

Damn you, words.
