writing about writing about nothing

any good story

is going to change

when you read it

again for you have

changed for good

from stories

*

there are too

many people

to write

and it takes

too many people

to write;

writing is never

alone

*

writing

is about

not talking

about how to write

*

writing

is muting

yourself in yourself

so others can hear

yourself in themselves

*

poems are the language

of the young

playing around

with the idea of lasting

until they are old

but never as old

as their poems

and the language

that precedes them
