If you’re crazy enough
to want to become a writer
of books
of poems
then welcome to this delicious insanity
To a place where you will stare at nothing
…for ages …. longing for inspiration
And when you find it- taking a pull like a bum on wine bottle
Where you may argue with your characters
-even threatening to kill them off
…if they misbehave
Sometimes, you do….and the police won’t charge you
Where you plot and twist words until they make some sense…. giving your imagination a lying tongue… and God won’t judge you
Where you’ll build a world of words
…precariously perched on the hope
of a decent book
