Easy Entry

Write from the point of easy entry

if there is one.

And if there isn't, just

make one,

with chisel or ice pick

with needle or pin

with church key or paring knife,

cleaver or axe.

 

Create that point of entry.

Fashion a little opening in the hide

of the idea,

for unless and until you go through,

you are not where you want to be..

 

Perhaps, like the yellow-jacket

probing for the sweetness of the fruit,

you will find

without extraordinary measures

that point through which to enter.

Take your pleasure there.

Surround yourself with sweetness.

And you will bring back to the world

whatever gods' nectar you find,

distilled from the honeyed stuff of truth,

filtered through your long insertion.
