This is what I know: you must destroy.
As ready as you are to create, you must also be as ready and eager to
destroy. Constantly creating and also constantly destroying.

You must be ready to destroy yourself over and over and over. forget
everything you know at least once a week.
You must be ready to rebel against your world and everyone in it,
whether it's bad, indifferent, or good.
Rebel against success! This is what most don't realize. Success, while
nice, is just another cage! It's just another skin they put on you. And
while it's very interesting to see the old wearing withered skins from
forty years ago, it's not so wise!

Stay away from the witherskins!
It's not wise to wear witherskins
Norma and Wilton W. Witherskins
The Witherskins, Wanda and Wayne Q.
They're the dustcover people
Their skins are so dustcover
They've worn them so long, no idea what's underneath
Poor shrunken pupa
Poor shrunken papa
Yearned to burst free
Poor shrunken butterfly
Wings all useless now
Wayne Witherspoon's wings

Suffocated butterfly
Yearned to burst
Didn't burst
They encouraged her not to burst
It's madness, they told her
Remain in your cocoon
Safe from the stares of strangers
Safe from the slings & arrows
Safe from the sticks & stones
