Couldn't help but to overhear
You and your friend discussing how you write. May I ask you a question?
What do you write?
Why do you write?
What are you trying to say?
What is your purpose?
You also read?
Why would you do that? Aren't you afraid another's words would
Poisoncontaminateinfiltrate
Your voice?
Who are your favorite writers
of poetry? Of prose?
I'm sorry, I've never heard of those.
"I don't read contemporary authors,
I only read the classics.
You know,
like Virginia Woolf."
Okay -
Is there nothing to say
of today?
Alright, you pretentious twit,
Do what they pay you for and
Get back behind the bar and
Make me another drink.
