Iâ€™m always writing, but there are times where Iâ€™m just not on my game, and Iâ€™ll use that time to read some new poets, go see some art, walk down to the river and just stare at it, or have a conversation with my sister, or whateverâ€”do whatever it is that I do in my life, hoping that Iâ€™ll get filled up enough. And something will happen, some juggling will happen and boom.”
