Write every chance you get,
there aren't many.
Write when you
have a quiet moment
by yourself.
Write when you
are
in
the
queue;
life is about waiting.
Write when you are in bed;
take your pen
and
close your eyes.
By morning
you will have forgotten
more poems than you have written
but
you will still be a writer.
Write when you are getting a haircut;
all that hair has a story.
Write while you watch a woman.
Write while you watch a woman
lugging a rolling suitcase.
Imagine what is in there,
what is so important to her
that she must roll it around
in the darkness?
If you get the chance,
write in New York.
New York is writers writing about writers.
Write when the
most
beautiful
girl
turns around
and
gives you
heaven.
Write because heaven is costly;
heaven is elusive.
Write because heaven is rich
and know that you will be there
again.
Write because of anyways, well-fuck-it-thens, and don't-call-me-ever-agains.
Write when there is nothing
to write about,
there is always something
to write about.
If your writing is ****
feel freedom
instead of
disappointment.
We ****
to make space
for
reason.
