Why would you want to say the "next" same thing? Or, why would anyone want to read it? if everything you wrote was just a poor copy of something someone else said better, why would you bother writing it? The best love poems or love songs don't say what you've already heard about being in love. They say "I wanna hold your hand" (before that was a popular concept) and "comes in bells your servant, don't forsake him". Originality should be the artists' ambition. The best poets make me think something different, not "I've heard this a million times before... and better." What's more disturbing, a spider crawling into ones mouth or crawling out of it?
