Rilke says you have to live in order to write poetry
even if you're not
a bartender
a knife fighter
a ballet dancer
a truck traveler
you could write
since all of us in our
beds or
computers
think of something
someone already thought of
academics say
we're connected
write
you'll be speaking in behalf of
the entire world
