      You have to wait until it
      hurts, until it clangs in
      your ears like the bells
      of hell, until nothing
      else counts but it, until
      it is everything,
      until you can’t do any-
      thing else
      but.
      then sit down and write
      or stand up and
      write
      but write
      on into it
      no matter what
      the other people are
      doing,
      no matter what
      they will do to
      you
      crash the lines down,
      a party of one,
      what a party,
      swarmed by the
      light,
      the time of the
      time,
      out of the tips of
      your
      fingers.

      from Issue #4 - Fall 1995
