Writing everyday, as I do, I really do write down any thought that catches me. It's all a kind of etude: a study, a learning process. Themes differing, but always a Corwin thread underlying, it seems to me everything I compose has validity, both artistically and philosophically. (see poem enclosed:) Words & Marriage Word Paralysis: Stunted Growth
Couples do it all the time: Talk in phrases long cliched by platitude, Of staled attitude. They don’t communicate (except perhaps when fornicating). Don’t learn, The phrases all the same, Repeated at each meal, each film.
They’re missing out On IQ raising inspiration, Real communication Worn or lost in years or habit: Customary words inadequate.
They learn to neither listen Nor to pay attention, Stopping up their listening ears Through years of word paralysis.
Sometimes deafness very real Strikes one to the other mate. There goes the skill of conversation, Life’s love communication.
What to do? What the solution? Partnership and marriage As a dance for two Goes falling through. Through simple lack of word renewal.
Who wants boredom, Wants to snore when loved one speaks? Love goes sneaking out the door When words no longer stir or spur.
