Instructions for Writing This Poem




INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRITING THIS POEM



1.     Decide on your concept (root) and make it light.
2.     Decide what to put in and what to leave out (the lava of the whole, the superior inside; the secrets lied about).
3.     Taste the evening as a paternatinal awe.
4.     Congratulate the singular masculine; talk about it like jerking off.
5.     Find a pose and stick with it; sustainability merits a lack in imagination. There is nothing imaginative here (or there).
6.     Breathing proves the limits of words as objects:  prove this wrong (whisper a line into the freezer and wait).
7.     Take a walk until you hear a thunderclap (I can wait).
8.     Process what you’ve been reading until you’re ready to take a shit; take the shit and start over.
9.     Check on the root of the bone and let it tulip until it feels pretty for now.
10. Continue admiring until you have to shit again.
11. Shit again.
12. Fold the lips of what you’ve done – typical/French-style – and appreciate while watching your favorite television program.







13. Remind yourself you never meta poem you didn’t distrust.
