why use 500 words than when you can compress life even more. poetry is about compressing. prose is about explaining in detail here example in haiku

Parents fight, alot.
On the court i vent, escape.
With sweat comes wisdom.

either or, it's all good. i still think underneath it all there is always more brewing and if there's not, there should be. writing is like acting and performing music it's about heightening the stories and experience, not flattening them..otherwise we would be flooded with one dimensional blee blee until we all folded into complaisancy. i think that there is a specific reason behind everything and to ignore that is to doom oneself into routines of fog enshrouded submissiveness. defined motivation is the key to brilliant writing. understanding terms to understand oneself. label actions, and pull from that file in confidence. don't settle for less, beg for more. i play basketball when i'm lonely, i'm frustrated, i need to feel in control, i need to touch something i'm familiar with, to escape, to feel good about myself again, to lose weight, for fun, to watch cindy zuniga practice with the cheerleading squad..there is always a reason..always!..to say there isn't..is to be unaware, and immature. i enjoyed the piece, but i write, he plays basketball, and i know for a fact. it could be better, and it will, to eat simply because your hungry is to miss out on just how good some food can truly be.
