Did I write them down
words that blink
in phrases
in ideas
from nowhere
and everywhere
Disconnected
little stems
for story,
essay or
poetry.
~~~~~
Little notebooks
on table and desk,
filled with notes
wise words
directions ~ how to shape ideas
notes to self
a grocery list for apples and oranges
bills to pay
phone numbers
dates from messages
Not as cluttered as my thoughts
~ but close
At least notebooks are solid
~ thoughts are thinner than the finest gauze.
“Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come
unsought for are are commonly the most valuable.”
~ Francis Bacon
(1561~1626)
