This is a new notebook

A three dollar bound stack

of empty

Sheets waiting for thoughts

and ink

Three by five, brown sleeve,

a grid

Of dots inside the pages

for lines

Or calendars, or reminders,

or to-dos

But instead of checking dots

Or crossing completed plans

I make maps with words

That don't rhyme.
