Writing Workshop
We were beginning
to gather
at the "Shut up and Write"
workshop on Broadway
I brought a couple
of chapbooks of my
poetry
and an article published
in a collectibles journal
A Hispanic woman
told me she was writing
a memoir
I showed her my
chapbook - she smiled
Last time I came
there was a
prosecutor who wanted to write
"literary fiction"
Also, there was someone
who was heavily
into finishing his
comic book
It seemed that only
the Hispanic woman and
myself have come to
"Shut up and write"
She is busy typing
up her memoir
I start work on a story
Across from me
two young Asians have begun to work
on getting their Series 7 license
They are working intensely
A writing workshop in a coffee shop
"Shut up and Write"
Indeed!
