but the reading

after all; I seem to not be able to get enough

and yet when I pick up pen to put to paper

what comes often

is gibberish

nonsensical spilling that ends up in the bin.

Perhaps that’s where it was always meant to be 

in the end the words that pass through my mind

do travel to where they’re meant to rest

and when they journey through the end of my pen,

I’ll trust their job is done simply appearing in 

blue ink.
