Composition


Stubbled thoughts
Captured on
Scattered scraps of time
     A word
     A rhyme
Scribbled on the edges of the
Shopping list the
Catalog the
Phone bill's envelope

Crabbed script interlines agendas from
Forgotten meetings, maps my drifting mind with
     Marginalia
Fragments which I shuffle, seeking
Patterns, matches, places where the meter
     Interlocks,
The phrases
     Fit
Finding, filling
Cracks and imperfections until seamless verse
     Unspools
Unbroken lines

This is how I write
In stolen moments

Lulls between the squalls of
Work & life
