Create
Start with sentences.
Or happiness.
Or everyone.
Take words as if they have been hanging on the ceiling.
The waiting room can grow.
Long hallways with photos.
Sentences.
Or wheels.
Or wailing.
Easy stuff like pencils that break.
So rinse everything off again.
Waiting on thoughts to become thoughts.
They always say that sunlight is fake.
Start with empty hands.
And eat everything.
But let the words eat first.
The best way to create-
Is being a person who likes music.
Or sports, or being happy.
Tap away until there is nothing left of the radio.
That you haven’t eaten.
Create.
Everyone went home that day.
Leaving scraps.
Start with everyone and everything.
Create.
Or don’t.
