Think Before You Write
pen, paper, stereo, a tapper
me with Eric B a nice plate of fish
before you begin to take the great plunge with the pen
hold your breath and count to the number ten
box, dice, loose change & credit card
we get tide up with knots
hands that welcome new pursuits
never relent in your pursuits
rejection letters
there is a part that explodes in me
e mails in the delete function
learn to think before you write
what did your contemporaries do
perhaps we have bitten off far more then we could chew
a renegade that's got it made
faces in the window with storms in the night
learn proper grammar
put into the right format
working to hard can give you a heart attack
learn from your mistakes
call it fate
yet someday you will succeed
it's called determination
knock you to your knees
