Write what you know about
Is a tired old saw
About which people seldom
Stop to think
What sort of knowledge
Do you really need
Before sitting down
To compose a phrase
Is writing
Nothing more
Than a reflexive act
As knowing comes first
Followed by a mechanical
Turn of the wrist
Or is it more
As it sometimes seems
That writing is thinking
Of a certain sort
And only by writing
Do we possess knowledge
Enough to write
About anything at all
