Asemic ballad.

It isn’t writing, and it isn’t rewriting. 

It’s the cogent way you couldn’t state your own comvictions.

You’re up to your knees. And


You ain’t gettin’ any taller.


This afternoon I reread Bret Harte’s ‘The Outcasts 

Of Poker Flat’. And I couldn’t bring myself

To think of anyone but me.
