it always come down to writing

it always come down to writing


because
im
too
damned
loose
to
screw
around
with
cameras
or
paints
or
tools
and
materials.

i
do
these
things
once
in
a
while
but
they
never
last.

i
can
always
be
writing.

i
need
nothing
but
brain-
memory
pen
paper
or
anybody's
keyboard.

too
damned
loose
to
be
any
thing
but
a
writer.....
... for
the
long
haul,

yep.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
