Paper Weight

At times it gets hard to talk. Instead of rambling about anything. Most times I sit without saying a word. Just sitting in thought. Most times different conclusions are drawn. This at all doesn't mean that anything is wrong. Sitting in silence. Admiring the space around. Different noises are heard. Finding their way between the lines. Indented in brief moments. Spurts of randomness. Wadded up thrown to the side to make room for the next moment. Often left blank. Without a single use of expression. Without a trail of lead or ink. Just empty lines stacked and spread across a thin layer of cardboard. An bent aluminum spine. All stacked up waiting for a love worthy of notation. Signatures of fluttering pages. Familiar names and phrases. Blank pages filled up in a parade of paragraphs. If you listen close you'll hear the band tuning up. Marching down empty lanes marked just for the occasion. Inside there are large bold words filled with tubas and small lines felt with the mark of snares. The procession of pen to paper. In proclamation to one of the greatest loves ever found. Sold in two different packages. All in perfect silence as they travel down the same lane
