READ OR WRITE

A Poem by Gary Schooley
"

This is about reading or writing...

READ OR WRITE


to be able to say

out loud what’s going on

in my mind thought me

limbo maybe in limbo

between birth and death

who we were who we are

what a story what stories

what a story what stories


to feel the inner workings

of my body so familiar

more familiar than anything

the tricks the patterns the

no no’s the cautious path

the lonely content path

for both mind and no mind

for both mind and no mind


reading is lazy writing is work

I forget what I read

what I write is evidence

that I wasn’t being lazy

so write about the movie

playing through this mind

onto the big screen of life

onto the big screen of life
