Written Down (Draft)

(based on The Daily Reader assignment for 2/17)

He's got all the words
Used Times New Roman 12
Single spaced like stitches.

Clipping the manuscript (not stapled),
He passes his hand down the smoothness,
Cool now after resting;
Words lined up in wait
Seek the editor's pen.

Running his hand back up,
A small red slice
Opens up his index finger
Just over the knuckle
And bleeds.

  1. oo I really like this! I guess because I identify with it but hey there really is nothing like holding a stack of papers you filled and running your hand down the smooth coolness of that first page. lol
