a poem in my pocket

“I write on these spindrift pages.” — Dylan Thomas

I… personally speaking, myself and not another; singularly and uniquely me

write… to scribble with pencil, flow from ink, or tap on keyboard; to make meaning from letters into words into phrases into lyrical language

on… immediately active location; ready position; prepared for task; alert

these… things here, not there; close at hand and possessed; opportune

spendthrift… who gives away freely, shares extravagantly; both prodigal and profligate (variation of spindrift?)

pages… leaves of a book, spaces on a screen, blanks waiting to be filled in with words and sent into the world!
