Thinner than Gauze

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)
