The words come as soon as I sit down, and if I'm lucky, they don't stop for hours. If I'm really lucky, they might even make some sense when I go back to look at them the next morning.
But on other days, I wander through the house picking up one book after another. I check my e-mail a zillion times. I walk through the garden to see if there are any tomatoes yet.
And then I overhear a conversation between the neighbors, or ride my bike through a pothole or read something in the paper that makes me think, "Oh, I'd better get that down." And it starts all over again.
So here are the things that I've gotten down. Welcome. Enjoy.
