You’re Not a Writer

You’re not sitting there, withering away, which in the past you used to call a wasting of paper and ink.

But times have changed, haven’t they?

Now you sit typing, inefficiently, frustrated you didn’t pay better attention when you were taught in school.

You awkwardly use too few fingers.

You’re not a writer.

You’re not sitting there, recapitulating the sorrows of your past, simultaneously excited yet dreading for the future.

You’re not embedded enough in yourself.

You’re not a writer.
You’re not trained both academically and spiritually, are you?
