Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

At The Poetry Factory

they're a bunch of lazy assholes

quality control is low

 

they sleep on the day shift

waiting for inspiration to hit

 

a man pulls on a wire

and a pen descends on a line

 

the minimum is a page a day

now they're striking for lower wages

 

they say the poverty 

helps the soul

 

keeps their patrons 

on a roll

 

one guy worked a triple shift

then went on to split his wrists 

 

most don't last a week

the rest go to work for the police
