i wonder if all else fails
will i pass the test ive set myself
its not like i can study
or revise the notes ive written
the ink i used is in my head
and prone to degeneration
reasoning out all i know
and coming out with less than 10%
if thats not abject failure
i dont know what is
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    All things considered
    Disappearing ink still leaves the page,
    the papyrus reed;
    Starting Over
    can never be considered
    abject failure.
    The paper is unable remain blank, it's not in its nature.
    If the do lights go out
    (uv radiation)
    or the mind goes white
    (tabula rasa)
    one must note the inevitability of etch
    hash marks on a chalkboard
    dates on a wall
    names in the datebook
    events in the fall
    all these things deposited, a year,
    your dreams not passed... no
    they remain. Here.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
