Seven Has Two Syllables

Don't listen to Bukowski.

He had talent and could write.

That nonsense about drinking,

that man was the exception.


You are not the exception.

Face it, we are not as good.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Do not rely on his voice

or other inspirations.


I should take my own advice,

perhaps I'll do that later.

Come to know the Word yourself.

She is a patient lover,

and love her you must, always.


She is both the Muse and Means.

When she does not come to you

refrain from cursing her name,

the blame could come from others.


Let the words keep coming through,

do nothing to impede them.
