who gives a rat’s
ass—say who you are:
front and back.
what makes for bad poetry
is letting petty insecurities
get in the way of
compulsive creativity.
messages in public;
messages in private
contradict yourself
—don’t contradict yourself.
tactile trivia:
i concede—
i can be quite rash,
but most indefinitely
more volatile.
