"Show, Don't Tell" -- dumb advice

[billy]

the quote i used was from the prose poem above.

personally i like descriptive tell mixed with abstract or sometimes ambiguous show;

While waiting for steaming water to cloud
silver on a cold shower door

i was just trying in my own bad way to show that more than what we think is show, and often we call it tell.
descriptive narratives are often more show than tell yet come across the reverse of the fact.
