   I stopped for a while last week.   
      
   This week I'm back to repeating myself.   
      
   When there is no point there is no bother.   
      
   I'd asked myself, a couple weeks ago, why I was writing.   
   Most everyone has given most all this stuff a lot of thought   
   and their minds are made up. We say what we say.   
      
   A symphony could stop after the first three notes.   
   A dance could stop after a single step or four.   
      
   Yet, here, many of those who write like to write.   
   Maybe it centers some of the writers some of the time.   
   Perhaps it reminds them of little bits of life, like vitamins.   
   It could reinforce what their epistemology tells them.   
      
   When an orchestra plays, each instrument makes its noise.   
   In newsgroups, it's somewhat the same in various ways.   
      
   A guy in the peanut gallery blows his knows.   
   He laughs at the shells of the ones he throws.   
      
   There being nothing to say, why anyone says anything   
   might be called, having much to say about nothing.   
      
   Some people dance to dance.   
   There need not be any ulterior motive.   
      
   The universe plays two play each day.   
      
   In many ways   
   within a dance can be complicated steps   
   and within the music many notes to be played.   
      
   Some people get very involved in the processes.   
      
   - at times
