He didn't try to
write poetry

(Just laid in bed all
 night, at 10 years old
making sure he could
rhyme every word he knew)

Started filling empty books with
verse,
pouring over the Thesaurus his
mother had bought him

Grew to be a man who walked
the earth on his own path
Took an uncharted course through
wilderness

Motorcycles
Goddesses
Asia
Europe
West coast
East coast

Radical Masters
Underground meditation encounters

The way of being of a
poet
is his
poetry
