needs

all i need
for a good poem
to happen

is a pencil
(not a pen, because
i don't trust the
meanderings
of
my own mistakes)

some paper
(even a scrap
taken from the
backside
of a magazine
will suffice)

and you

(looking over

my shoulder,

causing ideas
to happen
just by being
the warmth
by
my side)

(lean)
