i take the scissorsĀ
out of my mouth
and put them in my mindās
hands
watching as itās cuts
words from
paper pages
and gets it fingersĀ
sticky with glue
pasting poems on
itās dream board
among the quotes
and the authors
the āif foundā postersĀ
of old friends
the concert ticket stubs
and the scribbled thoughts
setting down the scissorsĀ
wiping down the hands
before closing the glass back over the bulletin board with the lock
covering the display case of
the master plan depicting
-my dreamsĀ
hemly
