i'm not drinking in bars getting drunk

i'm at home reciting, typing, working, and writing

that is what you call a modern poet

the modern poet

is the poet that is involved 

with health

work

discipline.......

what have to commit 

to having the discipline of what we do

and i will always defend

publicly and privately poetry

as health

poetry as a lucidity

also depends on sweat and hard work,

and the lucid notion

of the importance of persistence
