Pages

In the Stacks

Pages once white, clean and blank 
Words strung carefully across each page
Review - again.
Edit - again
Thoughts so clear when first put down
Still organized but
…..not quite right
Where they should be
Too much
Too little
One page at a time
One sentence at a time

Stack up the pages
Divide them in doable time spaces
Coloured paper clips for each ‘reading’
Don’t think about good or bad
How much or how many
Just do the work.
Done…….for today.

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
~ Jack Kerouac,  The Dharma Bums
