writing while drunk or on any other drug, or while travelling; or remembering enough to be able to conjure it up and write it down later is a skill in itself.
I know a lot of people that can't do it. I guess it's somewhat of an introverted skill.---I've been called an introvert, and it might have been an insult. But I didn't mean it as an insult here. And I'm only referring to the method of writing, not a personality type.
Then again, reports from "altered states" won't always appeal to others, unless they're in a similar state. But that part's not a reflection on this poem; this poem comes off well on this side of the well.
The use of other languages, or writing in another language than your native one has numerous effects too. But it's always tricky business, because if someone doesn't know a language used, they might shy away from the whole thing. But all the better for someone that does know the languages.
