Now this one will join them


There are old, worn-out ideas laying about the back rooms of thought.  They haven't been used in years and in most cases aren't even worth thinking about for a second time.  They are fragmented, and without color.  They lack the excitement that sparked their birth.  They simply lay quiet, within the dust that is itself as thick as the cobwebs that surround them.  They remain undisturbed by vision, fragrance or imagination.  

Sometimes, just for fun, I wander around back there.  I kick up the dust and look to see what's under it.  Now and then I'll bend over and pick up an old idea and take a long look at it.  I’ll hold it up and slowly turn it about.  What ever made me think of this, I'll ask myself. 

A lot of them seem to be very stupid.  It makes me feel dumb when I see the little ownership tag hanging from them.   Corwin’s

Yikes.  It doesn't take me long to come running back out.
