such as you don't have
April 18, 2011
flip through this book
flip it
oh wait, it's
not a book just
paper
all stapled in a row
(oh well)
checked the email before
so happy, but
the happiness faded,
leaving only
annoyance
it's junk in the inbox
(but it's never marked that)
read the same thing in
that
book-not-book
(it's called a magazine)
and the
thoughts could barely
be kept in.
they're falling from the
fingers, braids, lips.
are they trapped?
are they written? maybe.
maybe...
maybe not.
