reading an old book from the charity shop
from two thousand years ago
a chinese poet talks to me
offers sound advice about writing
if it is so obvious then why has it
taken two thousand years
or am i the new boy on the block
tripping over the old book
stirring the old sage to smile
listen son it has always been the same
sit here with me for two thousand years
and i will explain it to you
and you can give me all the news
from when i was asleep
i’ll tell you when to begin
get a pen now
there’s a good fellow
