Why Do You Write


sometimes, the words flow

like a fountain. other times,

i have to choke the life from

my fingertips just to jumble

a few words onto the keyboard.

nevertheless, i write. and write.

and write. i continue to write.

not because it is all that i know.

no. i write because i want to

leave behind a legacy long after

these words inside my head have

faded from deterioration and

that silent, eternal sleep.
