Novel Ideas

I keep a journal to write down
good ideas for poems. It's small, it

fits in every pocket: even the front
pocket of my jacket. Which is wonderful.

The only problem with it is that the one
idea that lives inside its tiny pages says,

"Ants actually taste a lot like lemons"
per my eight-year-old nephew. Now I'm not

saying that's not a great idea for a poem
I'm just saying I don't have

the authority to write it. Maybe you might.
