all my words spilled out
onto thousands of compositions
written by someone else
or on compositions of my own
or in countless notes about trivia
only a few care to know --
les Ballets Suedois designs
or the color of Charlemagne's eyes --
or thank-you notes
sent, discarded, forgotten
lifetimes ago. Now
I'd rather look
and in looking
reserve my words
for what might
matter some day.
