Been reading old chapbooks and posts…

mine, others, people I know, people I don’t know or knew once and don’t remember…

We all write too many poems,  with too many words, we repeat ourselves, spoonfeed our readers/audiences, are too literal, explain too much, work too hard to make sure we’re understood…

Stop.
Stop.

Just stop.

We don’t know shit and yet we keep teaching and preaching. 

STOP.
