Leaving Poems On Pillows
Remember when you cried
in the morning because you
'left a poem on your pillow'
at night... It was such a big
deal and you even agonized
over it for a quarter of an
hour or so before you threw
in the towel, realizing that
you would never get that
poem back in your head
again... though poems are
actually somewhat like buses
if you miss one, you'll catch
the next one... When you
come to that realization, you
sleep better at night and
wake up untroubled in the
morning, understanding that
what the world never reads
it never misses
