Question: So, I read books and!.!.!.I look for words and find some words in the form of a sentence and sometimes!.!.!.!.!?
!.!.!.!.that sentence becomes profound and I wonder if anyone else saw what I saw when they read what I read!?

When Celine said it
I don’t think he knew
I would make it mine
to use,
a short sentence at the end
of a paragraph
hangs in bold print
on the grinding wall
and it says
‘Celine’ below it
and they wonder
what it’s for
where’s the Far Side,
the Garfield!?
the picture of the dog!?
and I am forced
to point to the words
and quote the quote:
“everything’s
permissible
internally!.”

To answer your Q "I wonder if anyone else saw what I saw when I read what I read" the answer is NO!. Because each individual brings their own intellect, their own truth, their own reality to the page when words they read!. And like snowflakes, no two individuals are alike!.

What I'd give to come to the page as you, to read and see what you see!. But only for a spell, too long I think would destroy me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All kidding aside!.!.
you've summed up perfectly my own thoughts on this!.
Sometimes the sentence is profund and sometimes!.!.it just strikes me as 'good!.'
"There is nothing in this world so dangerous as a pisted (my spelling because of YA censorship) off werewolf!.!.with a gun!."

As you mentioned, "the inspiration is ours, we own it!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I was young, I was given a box of cornflakes and told it was a jigsaw!. Couldn't make the picture on the box outta them whichever way I put 'em together, but I was inspired to try!. Sorry, what was the question again!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

They planted a seed
on a barren landscape
littered with empty bottles

'nothing will take' I warned

but the soil began to stir
empty promise cast aside
and the words written became my ownWww@QuestionHome@Com
