It's simplistic. That's what I think it always should be. There should never be any talk of snowflakes falling into your eyes creating tears that are just fake. There shouldn't be anything like diarrhea of the mouth, because shit doesn't taste good, and people don't like to eat it either.

Say what you mean to say by buttering your bread with actual butter. If I wanted to infuse calcium or vitamins into my butter, then I would just walk outside to feel the sun on my face or drink a glass of milk.

Say what you mean to say by using your head. If I wanted to scream at you or punch a wall or knock somebody out or cheat on you to get back at you or smack you or something else, then I would probably just get a spoon from the drawer, dig my heart out of my chest like I would a bowl of chocolate ice cream, and hand you the entire thing and say bon appétit.

Say what you mean to say by waving your hands as a composer weaves golden notes into the air, or like those Italian Americans who speak like they're still flinging dough into the air, or like blind lovers who just want to see the contours of each other's body.

Simply say what you mean to say.
Sometimes we don't say what we should say.  We'll either assume that the other person should already know, or we're just afraid to say everything that needs to be said. What do you think?
