two in twelve

another one to start up
quick like a new car
sun shining cold still
biting in the air
out here clouding it up with ideas
and stories hardly created
and lost like conversations
that become forgotten
as objects flipped through
like a deck of cards
pick one put it back
let the car warm up in the morning
only ten minutes start it before
most even on days off
get the coffee going
hard to believe this being year forty
almost twice as many blank books filled
still sifting for the thoughts
someone will want to read
two brothers within twelve hours
told me to write a novel...

Your ideas are novel... and combine to make a novel. You are chronicling all our family's lives as well as your own.
