Poetry: Advice to a young writer

by H Brown

Created on: April 24, 2009

"Quit"

.

quit

just quit

nobody cares about you

nothing you write has any value

so quit

just quit

you're wasting your time

smearing your slush onto the lines

quit

quit quit

it's all been said before

slightly better maybe more

so quit

you quit

if you're not already rich

no one wants to squint your pitch

just quit

quit quit

starbucks is closing

give up the brown-nosing

and quit

just quit

don't bother your mother

she's got plenty of others

you quit

quit quit

put the gun to the cloth

be sure the safety's off

and just quit

quit quit
