I’ve read
More than enough,
To write the definitive work
On Kerouac and Ginsberg
But my dissertation
Will always sit
As blank notebooks
An empty New Document file.

I’ve watched
more than enough
to know Scorsese shots
and Spielberg framing
to make my cinematic opus
but I've never taken action
From behind my camera.

The idea man without the action
Unshared,
Unused,
Thoughts
Never have
to answer
To built up potential

They stay safe
And empty.
