remember when "subscribe to my newsletter" was a punchline for jokes

Except when finality, heavy with care
Demands it.
Then the poem will end.
Anyone can do it

Anyone can do it
Anyone can be a poet
All you have to do is study more
Read poets of yore, see every refrain
And stress and strain knowing what they're all for
Til the words on the page and the sounds in the air
Trace musical beauty with every beat
And rhymes evoke patterns that never repeat

Anyone can do it
Anyone can be a poet
All you have to do is keep showing up
Day after day, to put words after words
Onto page after page
Until book after book is filled
With poems that you willed
Would be better than the last
Even when they devastate you
Every time they are not.
Anyone can do it
