FREE ADVICE


you say
you are lonely,
why bother
with poetry?

i understand
if you want a shortcut
to hard luck
and depravity.

i get it
if you're sick
in your head
or your heart
and can't start
a real job.

because poetry is
solitary and poor
and meandering and bad
for your head and your heart,
you'll be better
off dead.

don't
start!
