controls the pen

he might write all night long ten days straight
who am I to get in the way, he
controls the pen has for years
the stacks of books the library he is creating
present a picture of nearly nonstop thought
controls remain unmanned can’t take
the corner without flipping over going too fast
past haunts every day with all the bad decisions
he made forever making new decisions count
who he is now completely different
controls his own movement not just
the pen any more or less
past haunting being defeated
controls left unmanned until a new focus reached
the center where eyes would meet
future could be something else…
