Write and Wrong

Write and wrong.

Wrong and right.

You can’t write the wrong way.

I don’t know why

I once thought you could.

Writing isn’t for the reader. The reader should be

considered and consulted,

but not revered.

If the author knows what she wants to say, she should say it.

And say it well, of course,

but say it nonetheless.

Who gives a damn how they read it?

You don’t write for them anyway.

And the moment you do, you stop writing and start pandering.

I don’t want to pander.

I want to write.
