Revision
Why revise? You tell me that all quality resides in forthright revision, that glinting passages, even whole shining nuggets, can only be found, not brought forth whole.
But I'd tell you there's no point panning for gold flakes in this muck. This is the literary equivalent of small tallk we make to keep each other at arm's length.
Words keep me from conveying what's really on my mind.
