Tosh (on writing)

absolute tosh.
That's why we're here
is it not?
Self-fulfillment...
The belief that our experiences
and the way in which we word them
are of significance?

TOSH

The writing game is an ugly game,
and our weathered faces
usually support such claims.

From your first, shallow loves
gone sour
to life threatening experience;
it is all a farce.

A game with no winners,
just a few distant tears
shed for the lump of misery
snapped over their desk.

Ah! We do go on,
don't we?
Never wanting to miss
that perfect line
that may
or may not
wait at the end
of a hundred wasted sentences.

So, carry on writing
I say,
for they are much worse
farces to be involved in.
