Visual Basic

by

Doug Larson

Open your eyes and write what you see

then forget what you see and write what you feel

Sometimes
I'm blind with eyes
wide open.
Sometimes
the racket of the machine renders my ears useless and
I'm deaf and dumb drowning
in a black sea
of white noise

then I write what I feel and it's harsh
but it's real
and you can't take it personally because
it's way too personal for that
and if it makes you feel bad then
maybe that's good.
Sometimes
art is supposed to do that

So hit me.
Make it hurt.
The pain is real and reminds me to feel
then maybe I can see again

and we're back to visual basic
where I can close my eyes
write what I feel

and make it real

NEXT?
Why don't you look at passion
