my type: writer

my type breathes ink

pressing said ink against sky

holds it, sticks it, stains it

each letter pushes

and stays

 

every mistake she makes is crinkled

and college-lined

freethrown in and around

an endless waste basket

later,

we'll call it her greatest work

 

because my type

type: writer

alphabet ingester

idea inventor

stainer of sky

believes in a world

where the world believes

 

she dots her eye-contact

and crosses her teachings

 

she sees old folks as encyclopedias

and children as ear to ear echoes

of all of this beautiful ****

that makes us shout

out loud

 

she sees fairytales

as tomorrow's scientific law

and travels this crazy world

via lopsided butterfly

whom by nature

always take the scenic route

 

because my type

type: writer

freelance flower grower

with watercolor wordplay

breathes, believes

and redrafts

 

breathes, believes
