Open a Vein
"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."
--Red Smith
Have I mentioned that writing a poem a day is really hard? And when I get stuck, I end up writing about, well, how hard it is to write every day. This is one of those days.
“all you have to do
is sit down at a typewriter
and
open a vein”:
Easier said than done.
Sometimes
I’m afraid of the blood
but sometimes
I can’t even find
the vein.
