To write
Is to sit down
Or stay standing
And pull out your
Notebook, loose leave, laptop
and begin to let worlds flow from your fingers

To write
Is to jump a dimension over
And explore the endless possibilities
Of the humor, romance, horror and beauty
Bound up in the skull

To write
Is to slip away
To lose yourself
To become a different person
And listen to his, her, its
Plights and thoughts and stories

To write
Is to become
As close to a god
As your will ever come

To write
Is to let life
Flow from your fingers
And on to the page
Where it will live
A bit longer than we will
