authoreal voice update (no progress)

I'd like to improve my writing to where
it's better 
enough
that people don't care 
how I go on
that people don't mind so much
about whether I get somewhere,
just so's as we go
I do that style, that way
that authoreal voice,
I say. I say that peculiar
tilt and lilt and hang
and pang, even cognitive 
dissonance clang
that they've come
up all the way from tolerance
to crave somehow, some way
they accept is my very 

best 
thang.

Or 
best 
so far as words
getting put go. Dang, 
I bet though there might be
a couple few other things I could
try to best. Or better, at least 
but I guess: write what 
you know

is a good place to start 
for success. So here I go:

Write what, you know? So:
What
what
what
what
what
what
oh

...

too literal again like always. See? 
This is why I must work so damn
all on me.
