He asked me how to write

So I sat him down,

Told him to look at the paper.  

Think of everything you want

To write.

Think of whatever you think of

Whenever I tell you to think of

Everything you want to write.

Think of women,

First,

And of drinks/drunks,

What seems to deserve to be written.

Think of childhood,

Filth,

Dirt

Blood,

Etc.

All of it.

Think of them.

You are not them,

They are not--

Fill your boxing gloves

With sand.
