I spend my days thinking in poetry- perfection never penned, perpetually falling upon my own deaf ears and disintegrating into the great nothingness, only to be recycled into bits and pieces of other poems never to be read
with each night the words vanish, one by one, as I repeat them incessantly, hoping that I just might recite a stanza upon waking
I wish that my mouth would open and out they would come, perfectly pressed upon cardstock, fresh with that inky smell I swear still lingers on my finger tips and pillowcases
instead, I lay still and silent, and watch hopelessly as they drift into dreams
