‘Of all that is written I love only what a man has written with his blood. Write with blood and you will discover that blood is spirit.’
- Friedrich Nietzsche

deluded ink writers
are like obnoxious children
or karaoke drunks
singing off-key
thinking they’re superstars

don’t confuse what you are
with what you’re not
or yr ink w/ yr blood
or yr pen w/ a scalpel
like great singers
who must first master scales
& practice until it hurts
you must master ink
before you write w/ blood

most of yr poems
are written w/ wax
revision in yr mouth
is something dirty
like switching words around
what I really meant to say
was rewrite

revision in my mouth
is when nietzsche
rewrote beyond good and evil
as thus spoke zarathrustra

revision w/ vision

- wolfgang carstens
