Light As the Breeze

                                                                  

My peripatetic soul travels light as the breeze,

Mindful only of keeping a supply of Boorum & Pease notebooks

And a reserve of medium-point Bic Cristals at hand,

To ensure my artistic spirits the freedom they need

For breathing, in and out, their imaginations' inspirations.

 

Indeed, I go unclothed, invisible, anonymous as a cloud,

Heedless, careless, insouciant,

Not shy, in the slightest, about owning up to my solitude,

Admitting, confessing I'm a recluse, a loner, a hermit

In a cosmos connected, digitally, to the gods of a virtual universe.

 

I prefer living my existence on the edge of disconnection,

Facing, second to second, the prospect of forgetting my next vision

Or the most recent thought fleeing my mind,

Rather than being instantaneously omniscient,

With a few keystrokes creating an immortal, viral bible of cyberwind.

 

As for the fragments, tatters, and shards of poetic expressions

That slowly, gropingly, unknowingly disclose themselves,

Whenever I take up pen, probe my notebook,

Trying to find signs of my identity hiding between the lines,

They alone keep my soul's travels free, light as the breeze.
