I begin for me.
A flat page,
Fainted across,
Lost sight,
Before me,
A flat page.
We thought of edge conditions,
of coming close
and running out.
I think of edge conditions,
Sharp enough
to split me in two.
I did not begin for you.
We think of end papers,
Blanks of waste,
Nonsensical,
Because its purpose is unknown.
So discarded as inefficient,
But what of the possibilities,
and treasures,
A blank page holds.
Blankets wrapped around you,
for warmth
I was never cold.
We knew,
That blank page blanket,
Never kept us warm,
Never began flat.
I let it embrace me for just that...
an embrace.
Movements and silhouettes,
Almost recognizable on the other side,
Just about daring you,
To assume that we know
what is happening.
That is the trick
of the blank page blanket.
We assume it's flat,
Which is why
at four views,
It disapears,
Disintegrates,
To a hairline,
Thin and prickly
as aerterial-chokes.
Oh blankey!
Come back!
