just typing

these are just words
I am typing
on a page that you
are reading

I don’t claim to
have the clean lines
of Hemingway or the
ease of Bukowski

I have just these words
that I am now typing
on this page that you
are now reading

you see, no deep thoughts or
intimacy, no sickly sticky sweet words
penned to woo a lover
or convince people to like me

there were those words
that I had typed
there on that page
that you have now read
