…i tell them to use their connections,
intern somewhere,
learn to live, live to write
love to learn, write to love
let the page be
your doctor
your therapist
your lover
…and the first student gets up
and his mouth open wide and says
“i want to live”
“i want to love”
(repeated a hundred times over)
“i want to live”
“i want to love”
and he asks me
if that was any good
and i tell him
it’s the best poem
i’ve ever heard.
