What does writer mean?
Writer means scribbling poems on scrap paper, wedged in corners of pockets
Writer means repeating ideas to yourself until they are burned in your memory
Writer means lying between sleep and waking, scratching down half dreamed ideas, getting ink on the sheets
Writer means thinking in long, flowing sentences, like out of an old novel.
Writer means speaking to a beat, even when speaking prose
Writer means always having hands stained the color of ink
Writer means living half a step in worlds of your own creation
Writer means saving images, phrases, songs, changing them and making them your own
Writer means baring your soul, bit by bit, to the outside world
Writer means seeing the beautiful in the ugly
  The music in the noise
   The fantastic in the mundane
   The extraordinary in the ordinary  
This is what writer means
