Know

Make every word count

I waste   space    with   every  bad    sentence I  write  

every nonsensical, unfruitful thought

I must think now that I am just

no good at introspection despite

calling myself "artist"

(a self-given title I suppose)

But, perhaps with some work I could

improve? - learn more, wonder more, conclude more

than emotional blubberment, which is of course

entirely dim and disgustingly consuming

I want to challenge it

step over it to a place where I

understand, where I hold

the spark in my hand and

marvel at its beauty and Know

how things are
