Write a poem.
Sit down and write what's flowing
through your mind.

Write something.

Say something that is true to you,
means something to you
in your life.

Think of something.
Don't think of something.
Pick a situation.
Pick a memory.
How does it feel?
What do you remember?

Write the first line,
fine,
what's next?
The second line,
the third line, the fourth line.

Don't write it in lines.
**** it up against the page
in a single vertical stream.

Write something.

Sexless
You're not an actor or an actress.
You're a writer.
You're not a waiter or a waitress.
You're a poet.

Write something.

Don't make it difficult.
Don't be too clever, or too fancy.
Listen to your own rhythm.

Don't let anything get in the way.
Write something.

And remember one clear fact.
You are always right.
