Ink

Tonight I’m making the cross eyed effort

putting dots in order there on the blurry page

where I hoped they’d be mindful of me yet they misbehave

Ink is willful and fearless the pen a trembling coward

Paper a fidgeting child that needs to pee and won’t be still

Eyes untrustworthy witnesses who disagree

the left with the right and won’t testify

I give form to this notion anyway
