Word Up

The Third Poem from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"

Writing.

It should always be very personal.

{

For those with an imagination

I salute you.

For those with nowhere else to

Turn I give a handshake, look

Ya right in the eye and say

{

“Keep on looking inside yourself

And notice what is around you.

Fuck the abstract and make the

Word pure as blood.

{

Speak of your day job.

Speak of your vices.

Speak as though this paper is a

Friend who is listening.

Speak the way you speak to

Thyself alone in your head.

{

Give this world of poetry

A person, a real voice,

The very you who was born"

{

Get personal

{

Show muthafuckas what

Balls and tits look like

}

Filter to Alone With Myself
