How can I tell what I think
till I see what I say?
—E.M. Forster

THE BLANK NOTEBOOK

Jaded, lost
Forgotten

Outcast
to the fringe class

of a societal
geode

all teeth—
an abyss

with nothing but
a pen

paper triple priced
with lines wide open

nonDestiny
here to stay

judged with bliss
until time's tale

is told—with pen
and ink

on lines unjudged
cast out

for the masses
construed at will
