The next time
You sit
Down to write
Whatever comes up, think
Of what Mary Shelley created*
In just one night,
And make sure
Your head is
Firmly in place,
All bolts fitted
Tight and no
More stripped
Threads or loose
Stitches; then and only then
Can you say all aboard
the mystery
Train, so step lightly all
My grotesque friends!
*Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
"all aboard the mystery / Train" indeed! Been out of touch too long, amigo, caught up in my own grotesquery!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming back on board, Joseph--there's always room for one more grotesque practitioner!
