    Mr. Writer

    It was his writing

    The sound of that scratching noise you hear when pen meets paper
    And magic is born

    It was the main reason why i walked over there and sat in front of him.
    200 tables and countless chairs in this library
    I wanted look at him

    I watched thin black ink slide against this white canvis
    His cursive was smooth, his words with no shaky lines or edges
    The soft tips of his fingers holding a faded black pen thats been through some ages
    Bite marks from frustration
    Dried up ink at the tip when his words weren't coming out fast enough

    I couldn't help but watch
    Even with me slightly staring he never noticed me

    His head was down fixed on his paper
    I could still see his eyes
    A deep strong brown
    The type of eyes that are so familure on an unfamilure face
    Eyes that told a story, and you was willing to sit there and listen to every word
    Feel and hear every breath

    I wonder how he treated his woman
    If it's like his writing i bet his amazing
    Hands that looked so strong gently placing against the edge of something so gentle to hold it in place
    The top of his teeth holding down at the soft bottom of his lip when he was thinking

    His writing almost looked like a dance
    A rhythm that he and his mind only knew
    Rising up soft with every L, M, D, and A
    Sliding along the lines like he's been writing before writing was writing

    I don't remember ever seeing something so calming and enjoyable.
    It was funny because
    I actually felt envious of that paper
    Maybe the pen

    Looking down
    I noticed my paper in front of me
    Bare and hungry for something
    But i didn't even want to write anymore
    I'll dase at him instead
    And dream of being his pen
    His paper
    The idea nests in his mind and has his undivided attention

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
