    It figures that I’m writing.

    I write like people eat

    Scratching so much graphite

    On the soft malleable

    Canvas of this page.

    What else can I do?

    I conjure worlds with

    The flick of a wrist

    In spite of boredom

    And monotony.

    I want to be God when

    I’m hunched over my

    Notepad not just the

    Same guy, but divine.

    I am the power, I build

    The kingdom.

    If it doesn’t please me

    Then crunch into the trash.

    Scores of soulless words I can

    Condemn or redeem.

    It figures indeed we are

    All small God- creatures,

    Clutching at the larger

    Throne with our feeble

    Grandiosities. We write

    Or paint or think our way

    Up the path to divinity.

    Alas, I am still hunching

    Over this book. I dart my

    Eyes toward the yakking T.V.

    It’s a mortal-making-machine.

    No chance at being God for a day.

    It figures that the days routine

    Should run without me tick,

    Tick, ticking away the moments

    Until reality sets in. But that is why

    The Pen is a magical tool.

    I can eye dent if I
    the neccecity of creation
    sneaking of with a match of divine flame
    promethues with a pen
    who gets to keep his liver
    keep writing
    you do it well
