don't quit your day job.

you are trying to say something

you write words through your fingers

in between meetings

and confirmation phone calls

you scribble lines on a paper towel

standing at the bathroom sink

you don’t want to forget

what you were thinking

you have a collection of post-it notes

your own 3M rainbow

on your desk and

the dashboard of your cluttered car

you just know it was important

you may have written something profound

a brand new concept

the world’s greatest poem

but that post-it is stuck to some woman’s shoe

as she walks to the bathroom

with her pen in hand
