Everything a person can do creates a thought, a car that runs through a persons mind when they are trying to sleep, but they can't. But, with a poet, a thought isn't a car. A thought is a wave of water, it's a dunk tank at a carnival and everyone has perfect aim. It's a soft touch on cold skin, one that feels like a lost lover.
And when a poet writes, and a thought is used, it lives forever.
