explaining very old rivalries again

My previous accomplishment ... should you stop

you'll make me lean in both ways as hungry as

a tendency to run ahead without a point except

to bring a clock full of water home to the moon.

not that much love
in a clock to the mooon
but wothout a point
no race
universally despised
a shock too
see
who is talking
even more who is not
lean enough every way
you'll go in circles
and become complete
at something

yes, that's something ... to "become complete at something" through that leaning ... good advice ... can there be such stuff as "good advice" in poetry? why not

of poetry i know not ...
not how to create or even write what fals in that category, what it is, nor is "allowed" to be or to suggset, though i might tend to think ideally shoulds and shouldn'ts and allwances as such would be a reader's addition while the colections of words designed or meant to advise no matter how trivial might be what i would refer to as prose, but htetn of prose i know very little either, so...
i ad to get transcripts for this whole teaching thing and i have to say not only do i have little memory of college but also that with all the classes they think i took i ought to know something more
