(wolfe)

I never know
how to quit,
the way that
Thomas Wolfe was
I read somewhere.
But he had
an editor
who loved him
and took the work
away,
when it was
time.
I liked him
best for walking
the New York streets
at night
and chanting
to himself
I wrote 10,000
words today.
I wrote 10,000
words today.”
