CHAOS
comes
late at night, or when (he’s) not thinking at all.
(His) greatest inspiration comes while traveling,
first…nearly always.
STRUCTURE
comes later, when refining and completing work.
Brooks’ Weekly Verses Publication:
Sail Away
“I live in constant fear of the Western descent towards fascism. But I digress…the club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing. There is much pain in the world, but not in this room.”
Favorite quote— a Soviet guy in the early 2000s

HIS ADVICE TO ARTISTS
“Write more, shout more, stop paying attention to social media. Read the classics, any classic, and stop taking it all too seriously.”
— Said by someone who can’t get off social media and tends to take themselves too seriously.
