This is what writing a book is like.
It's kind of like writing your life story.
But from someone else's point of view
(if you wrote it about you then you'd be considered self-centered.
A fear).

But what is poetry?

What is non-fiction?
Fantasy and horror?
Plays.


Are we writing about ourselves or are we writing ourselves into existence?
In the end, are we in fact:
poetry, plays, novels.
TV Shows.

Radio programs.

If we are words, then we are more.
It's great to find home in words.
Between Is and Ls
safe in the sloping curves of
confinement
cozy
brazen and braiding.

Someone else's mouth pronouncing your existence,
warm.
