Set a timer. Write whatever comes in to your head for 5 minutes as fast as you can. Don\u2019t delete anything you type, and don\u2019t bother to spell check. It is all about getting the words down on the paper. After the 5 minutes are up start editing what you have. Feel free to cut and add material as needed. Try to spend at least 15 minutes, if not longer, editing the piece.
\n———————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Spontaneity is the hand of Hadit,
\nwe live in a time of polished nonsense\u2014
\nbunkum at every turn.
\nWell I say, Good Riddance.
\nWho needs euphemisms anyway?
\nCompelled to express a variation of
\nmadness that seeps from the corners
\nof consciousness, I will manifest
\nan unwavering movement of action.
\nWillpower is spirit, spirit is me.
\nMy outward expression is not representative
\nof who I am. My thoughts, speech, and deed
\nWill quantify me as a wanderer.
\nCan the magick of words bleed through
\nwithout the tone of the writer heard?
\nI want to divulge a secret\u2026 I am not me,
\nand you are not you. You are not your
\njob, automobile, prized possessions, family name;
\nYou are not your fucking Khakis.
\nWe are the all singing all dancing crap of the world.
\nIf you have time to dance,
\nsit quietly you happy lucky idiot\u2014thanks Ninao.
\nI ride a tide of emerald river water. Surfing
\nthrough the cosmos as a salmon upstream\u2014
\nagainst the flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
