30/11/11

i've had alot of phonoe poetry lately,
but there's something about putting your pen to a page and letting yourself explode onto there.
there's something about it
there's something about scribbling quickly across your canvas trying to capture the language of your pen.
and something about feeling filled when words have filled the page
there's something about the way your fullstops and commas stop and pause with a yearning for continual
and you know this poem is going to be residual
because you pen and your fingers have written this one perfectly 
and it doesn't matter if the words at the end of each line rhymes of doh rhyme because your poem rhymes
and a thing about the way your words stare up at you and seem pleased with their perfect selves
there's something about the way your handwritting says to you that your language isn't forbidden
and looking at your words knowing they've already scored themselves
there's something about it
yeah
but now and again the perfect penmanship in the lettering of the letters cant give a poet the release he needs like his own handwritting does
like unperfect perfect letters on an offering page can
