My next novel will be more
not less
except in the places where
less is more
My next novel will be that
not this
– anything but this
My next novel will erase
all the anxious lines
tattooed 'cross
this novel
My next novel will take this novel out
to lavish dinners with
champagne and canapés
and wait...
until this novel is plump
and complacent
and groggy
Then my next novel will push
this novel off a cliff!
And no one will even ask
"What happened?" to this novel
'cause they'll be too busy reading
my next novel.
