PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have to write
if I don't write I have no career
if I have no career I don't get paid
if I don't get paid I don't eat
if I don't eat then I'm soon after
out on the street
without a mailing address for my royalty checks
that leaves me destitute and homeless
this cycle will go on
until
I start writing again....
