"A muse ain't gonna last you a couple of years
If you burn up the engine and grind up the gears,
Compare her to Earhart and Lady Godiva.
In short, sir, you write like a maniac driver."
"Why play it safe? It's just money and words.
If I burn up the road, I'll make time headed towards
Metaphors. I don't need to ask the muse's permission.
She won't care if I burn rubber or drop the transmission."
"I suppose it's your mind, and you don't have to ask,
But when you empty the tank, readers take you to task.
A fast write means repairs. It's harder to edit.
Besides, it's the journey and not where you're headed."
"Well why do you think I write fast? There's a reason
What some write in two years I will write in a season.
The more I write, the more I'll think, the more I'll know;
Moving fast, I can see more behind my eye-window.
A journey to learn and see means to do
Whatever I can, damn the muses I go through."
