ARE YOU A CLOSET WRITER? Do you write in your brain closet, behind paper walls and a door of intimidation? Can't quite bring yourself to join a writers' group, a comparative litmus of "those people" you secretly want to become but fear to be? Haven't yet read enough books or filled enough pages? Do you retort: "I write but I'm not a writer" or "I wish I was a writer but I can't write." Yup, got it. Join the club. No seriously, join the club! Because here's what I write in my closet.

sorry kid
too bad kid we
build you
wonderless
let you mistake
your ideas for
accidents
let you wear
test scores
like brand apparel
call it: Failure
too sad we
push the
already written
upon the
almost written
dying to be written
you kid,
a future that never arrives
all that cosmic potential
fizzles toward numb and
never
shame we can't
widdle you out
the shape you're in
amidst tangled words and
manufactured education your
child-voice chimes:
"why bother?"
only because it might
change your life
kid
