the best writers now
I’m told
have
word-processors.
I’m not even sure what a
word-processor
is
but
no matter–
the bermuda grass roots tangling
in my mother’s bones
no matter–
the shadow of the falling
canyon
no matter–
getting beyond the dream of the
elephant
I’m not getting
one
whatever it
is
but
I hope it helps the best writers
get better
because I can’t read them
now
and any improvement
major or minor
will help us
all
believe
me.
