It’s none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.<br /> – Ernest Hemingway


Drenched to the bone, John slugs

my hand with a savage high-five

as he breaks across the finish line,

oceans ahead of shipwrecked foes.

Why am I so f****** slow?

I watch obsessively

as my mentor swaggers

over to the garbage can

and pukes.
