do you have any advice for those of us just starting out? - ron koertge lyrics
give up sitting dutifully at your desk. leave
your house or apartment. go out into the world
it’s all right to carry a notebook but a cheap
one is best, with pages the color of weak tea
and on the front a kitten or a sp-ce ship
avoid any enclosed sp-ce where more than
three people are wearing turtlenecks. beware
any snow-covered chalet with deer tracks
across the m-ffled tennis courts
not surprisingly, libraries are a good place to write
and the perfect place in a library is near an aisle
where a child a year or two old is playing as his
mother browses the ranks of the dead
often he will pull books from the bottom shelf
the t-tle, the author’s name, the brooding photo
on the flap mean nothing. red book on black, gray
book on brown, he builds a tower. and the higher
it gets, the wider he grins
you who asked for advice, listen: when the tower
falls, be like that child. laugh so loud everybody
in the world frowns and says, “shhhh.”
then start again
