Prick the pencil onto paper

Encourage your words not to be shy

Tell them, “When you’re ready, 

feel free to fall out of my head and on to the page.”

Invite them to play along the college ruled lines to

glide across in a floetry formation of

verses, couplets and stanzas

Coat your tongue in the ink from crushed, busted pens

Lick the smooth grainy margins of the paper until

you find something poetic hidden in its taste

Just, please

Do something to 

get those thoughts
