I had to write it right then nothing would stop the flow out of my mouth whirlpools of imagination my vision drenched with words running over and over the brim it was pouring out spilling onto the floor puddles at my feet find me a pen I need a pen write it write it out on the back of napkins scraps of paper margins envelopes skin write it while the river flows while the deluge pours while the words still make scense find me a pen I need to write I will never remember it the same way the same way it saturates my clothes my skin panic and euphoria fear and excitement write it out write it out find me a pen before it's too late before it's gone
Despite having more reading books in my bag than any person in their right mind should, I have learned never to be without a note book and a pen.
