Say Anything

for so long,

i believed that i didn’t

have anything to say,

trading a box of tattered leather diaries,

filled to the brim

with words thought better left unsaid

for a mass-market paperback copy of

What to Say and When to Say it

i lived quietly,

downing my daily dose of Belief,

dog-earing those well-worn pages…

one day…

the bottom of the bottle appeared,

the paperback lost its way

in the labyrinth of my library

and…

I decided to say something…

anything

and

people listened…

…imagine that.
