Where to begin..

Well I dunno

Why not write what you know?

That’s what people say

- it’s the age old cliché.

But then there’d be books

about doubt and blank looks

as you stare at a screen

thinking: Wots it all mean?

Surely it’s right

to let fancy take flight,

to summon up creatures

with fearsome features -

two headed things

with flippers and wings.

Alien worlds

with three-breasted girls.

Mild-mannered zeros

transformed into heroes

who streak across skies

(but don’t plagiarise)

 

Doesn’t have to be true

As long as it’s you.

 

But that may not be

quite your cup of tea.

If that stuff I’ve just said

doesn’t live in your head

you might sit for years

with your rent in arrears

with nothing to show

thinking - What do I know?
