Down in the Dirt v043

THE ART OF SHEDDING TEARS

Cynthia Ruth Lewis

That’s your opinion--
I’m not an asshole just because
I laugh at people who waste time
in writing classes hoping to be the
next Ginsberg or Bukowski

hey, I’m all for the desire to convey
emotion through the written word,
but you think you can corner the market
on lunacy and pain gleaned from
pages in a textbook?

Those aspects don’t come easy, my friend--
there isn’t a soul on earth
who can teach you how to bleed
