Put Away That Notebook

By Adam G., Chicago, IL

     A book of rhymes finds its sunshine
in the back street of my mind.
Decides deciduously to shed shackles
like leaves of limitations, and a pen
punches out first principles
and punctuates the playfulness of
my phrases, yes,
writing is loss of identity, tying
up trademark tunes and impregnating the wombs of
imagination with godlike inspirations.
Meaning, breathing, seeming to be bleeding
but leading right back to the beginning:
A book of rhymes finds its sunshine
in the back street of my mind.
Decides deciduously to shed shackles
like leaves of limitations, but
all you can see is that I’m
not paying attention
in your
class.
