In this context, and as I was encouraged to understand, organic verse is simply the result of linking one thing to another without looking back to see where you have been or looking forward to see where you are going. Rather like a leaf growing from a bud with no "understanding" of the cellular "growth" producing the finished item.
Thus.
Crimson points of sugared peaks
crack beneath the silvered tongs,
Fired by coals that wait the grip
of vices. Tighter now, one twist, one more...
blah blah blah
Points, peaks, meringue, sugar, crack, sugar tongs, coal tongs, gripped by tongs, vice-like grip, tighten grip, twist to tighten etc.
In many ways, it is relational therapy. The "Say the first word that comes in to your head" nonsense much beloved of personality profilers...whatever that is. For me, with limited deep thinking ability, it produces lightweight stuff. For billy, it would need a 18+ certificate, for serge, I suspect it would divulge his undiscovered bisexuality...he will not protest, but if he does it will be too much. And you?
Best,
tectak
