Unconditional Creativity

Seeking the perfect starting conditions,
Striving for all the pieces in place.
Ideal setting
Aligned intention
Harmonious space
Inspired mood –
Can’t start without these,
Right?

What if you said,
Fuck that.

Throw away the interminable conditions
On your creativity,
Limitations endlessly applying themselves
To your expression.

What within me is ready to leave the
Confines
Of my inner world?
What yearns to be released from the infinite vastness of my mind,
To be manifested
Here
Now
Laid out before you on this page?

Today, it is this
Ever-stopping,
Always denying,
Perfection-seeking
Idealism

Wait!
You can’t write that – it doesn’t rhyme.
You can’t sing that – it’s off key.
You can’t dance that – it’s off balance.

No more.
Sing it, write it, dance it, do it!
Conditions be damned.
I do not wait – I create.
