I toss around in my Ego Dust
sure of my Victimization
and Superiority
unaware,
seeking to suck
at Hollow Victory's Breast.

Content I am
to imagine
Imaginary Castles
In The Air
to dwell within.

Yet is not Ego
and even False
Pretense
necessary
to every artist
even those
who've not written
a single sentence?


Yes, it seems
because
is it not through
Imagination's Portal
that we all
become
who we dream
ourselves
to ultimately be?

So I say to the Writerless
Write On
because
that is how
writers
come|
into
being
and inch
by inch
  within progress
often beginning
with the simple
vow
today I write
my first
sentence
at my
first
novel's
beginning.
