be
prepared
I hear you'd like to
learn to write: then be
prepared to waste an
awful lot of ink

Adam
I wonder what lines
first Adam used to persuade
a skeptical Eve

onions
wild green onions now
abloom, I know they want to

banning
Jean Martin bans me
from her high school English class
to the library:

guarantees for me an A,
and I must write---
about
whatever
it is I want
