-est

They say to write well,
you need to write what you know.
Sitting in the back corner of the library
licking salt off of saltines
and writing observations that could pass for sarcastic
in a leather-bound notebook that could pass for artsy.

(Concluding paragraphs don't always mesh well with the introduction).

(and never use superlatives.)

This is what I know.
