they make ink all the colors of the rainbow.
and they paint a world in which it snows.
and they create the seeds to sow.
all of that just to show, to us.

Books. there is a world behind their pages,
longing to come out and tell us their story.
longing to come out and show us their brightly colored countryside,
made of nothing but words,
and the life force of the author, that they pored out onto the page, in those long hours that they spent writing.

A humorous poem of death
Death.
maybe you just disappear.
or maybe you come back on the northern hemisphere.
or maybe you go to heaven or hell.
or maybe death is like a bell.
tinkling and tinkling in the night.
why oh why can't it be be bright.

The bus
The crowded bus forced together.
sweaty and hot, the smell of leather.
the chatter of school kids from the back.
