Do I write too much?

Do I write too much? (30th May, 2008, 12.06pm)

Cut me off mid-sentence if I have said too much;
my tongue runs on beyond the necessary
and my fingers follow her, play letter touch;
crush me between your vowel sounds,
I will implode between the plosives
of your swear words, as you curse the day
on which my block ended, and the words came back,
endless, as I re-offended, choking you with
the profusion of my poetic confusion.

I like your free verse speed writing word profusion even when it causes confusion. :)

No, you don't! but on the other hand, some of your work could do with working and working and working again - making every word count. But whilst the flow is with you,let it flow...
