There is a library full
(of books, I'm afraid)
that (almost) authors
(never) wrote
someday.
The blank pages
line the shelves
with (nothing)
words that never found their way
(got lost) from pen to page.
The difference between writers
and (almost) not writers
is
that writers
write.

After a conversation with my discrete systems prof about his plans on being a writer someday, I thought to myself, "Could they build a library big enough to hold all the books that were almost written?"
I have been reading a lot of ee cummings lately, if you can't tell. :P
you should have said that, it's a zinger. and Yes, I can tell.
ReplyDeleteI did tell him, "You know, I always say the difference between writers and not writers is that writers write."
ReplyDeletehe chuckled and replied, "Well, I'm a writer who doesn't write."
I think he entirely missed my point.
