Editor of the Abstract
sometimes i want to write in pencil
writing tentatively, i can use an eraser
and the finished product will be
row
upon row
of neat, uniform letters
saying exactly what i want to say
sometimes i want to use a pen
my thoughts gliding effortlessly onto the paper
when i find one smooth enough.
no need to correct,
pausing only to ponder the output and continue
when the page is full
i look lovingly at the mismatched letters
some cursive
some print
drifting, but still
saying exactly what i need to say
there are times i can't find words
sitting in silence
hearing my personal poem
the voice of the universe
not to be written
or spoken
but savored.
hearing exactly what i want to say
