On Knowing When You’re Done Revising

In my poetry class, someone asked, “How do you know if a poem is done? Like, how do you know when to stop revising?”

In answer, my professor showed us this:

It was a page in a poetry book that she’d had signed by the author and when she’d handed her copy to him he was like “ahhhhh I can’t stand it” and wrote in the printed copy of the book to change his poem to what he wanted it to be

So I guess the answer is “never.”

Chestnuts

We made chestnuts for guests and my dad gave one fresh out of the oven to our guest who immediately threw it back onto the table clutching his hand...

Guest: it's really hot!

Dad: "It's not that bad" *starts to eat one, laughing

Affronted Guest: He just threw a hot coal from hell into my hands!

*He then sings 🎶Chestnuts roasting in open lava🎶

Sister: *whispers* I want that.

Me: *not hearing her* Ah yes, powdered poison!
