Haunting

Torment makes a good writer
Better. Failed writing after
Torment makes a ghostwriter.
Failure, writing, and torment
Together make the real ghost.
Time to haunt America.
First, give up the ghost. Second,

Live in motion, dusk to dawn.
Third, avoid growing places,
Cities people seem to love.
Haunt the dying. Record them
While their remains are sleeping.
Fourth, quit the imperatives.
Streetlights on locked shop fronts glow.
