do it anyway

830/2003 (930pm)

no one tells him he's

got to get this much done

in this amount of time

he just moves the pen at

a steady pace and someday

surely someone will see it

for what it is random thought

captured like snap shots

of the purple sunset sky

tonight how else might another

know of sights seen thoughts

out loud with pen and the sounds

tonight night frighten if revealed

to be more than fireworks

in a city that is more of a large town

where no one tells him he's

got to write this or that might

not be what another might see

hear think but that's the point

under the right conditions anyone

can throw down words on the page

how many will stop to appreciate

the moonlit sky

and how many will stay indoors

in front of programmed entertainment

no one tells him he's got to do the things

he does but he does

in spite of it all

whether anyone can appreciate the time

it takes or how it sounds spoken

or read out loud with no one

tell him to stop

start back up as soon

as they leave he's made

the decision to do it anyway...
