When you get inspired by
An ad on the subway
Or the word "lighter"
I know that there's little chance
Of finishing anything I write
So I have to work on it
Having 600, 2 page "short stories" on your desktop
And a piece of gum plastered in your hair
Doesn't make you a writer
This isn't the Wizard of Oz,
The literary ruby slippers aren't thrust upon you!
You have to find the wizard by yourself
And run through the opium field in Sunday shoes quickly
There's no one to blame
So don't waste time spinning in circles
Searching for a patsy
"A writer is someone who writes" she said authoritatively
It would have been more fun to say,
"A writer is someone who knows how to use adverbs gingerly."
