i mean, i agree with that, the usually forgotten sentiment encapsulated in rhyme form - evokes a sort of nostalgia. that familiarity or re-remembering kind of thing. though rarer, i personally enjoy reading back old work and coming across segments that make me think 'man, what the fuck was i on right then? that was some shit. poetry.' because i genuinely don't know, sometimes, how i even wrote stuff. there's folly in that question, though, i'm trying to capture something that would forever elude any sort of net. trying to vocalize the most intrinsic of feelings - tapping into shit from the ether. it doesn't happen a lot when i read back old work but when it does i feel a way i can't express.
but yea this was good.
oh also split i would say the best reason to write is to write, y'know.
