Take My Word for It: Poems

Ars Poetica: a Polemic

I am I.
I am personal.
I am subjective, intimate, private,
particular,
confessional.
All that happens,
happens to me.
The landscape I describe
is myself. . . .
If youre interested
in birds, trees, rivers,
try reference books.
Dont read my poems.
Im no indexed bird,
tree or river,
just a registered Self.
