I have a problem
with
stationary stores
blank books call to me
pens, pencils,
paper
say
hey
come here chicklet
take a look
at
this
check this out
and I
can’t control myself
pick up a journal
hold it to my chest
open its gorgeous cover
and
drool
over friggin blank pages
this
is
an
illness
and you know those scribbling places
where
you can
try
out
pens
I’m standing there for
Days
ahhh this one will be a Great
signature pen
the perfect pen quest
and
the paper aisle
reams and reams, boxes and boxes
titillating
more than I can stand
color and texture
drives me insane
just
think
think of all the Words I can put down
all the thoughts
and
ideas
and there is
one magical place
forbidden
the computer aisle
laptops
just think of it
the possibilities
laptops
if I go I know I won’t/can’t leave
without one
so I just peer down
turn around
someday
someday
some
day
my laptop will come in
in
the meantime
how the hell did I get a hundred dollars
worth
in this cart
