What? Revision??? Don't be silly. Everything I spit out is perfect. Well, except for maybe that one bit over there. Oh, and don't look at that other part here either...
I'm reading and thinking, "Hey, Rachel wrote a poem about revision and missed the 'the' instead of a 'they' and...." Ha! Revision is endless. Some of us need people to take things away from us before we (I?) revise them into lifelessness. So, good job keeping the energy of early work with the refinement of revision.
Ha! Excellent. I wrote this months ago, and nearly every time I've looked at it since, I get to that same part and that "how did I miss that?" Then I get to the end and laugh and feel very silly.
