A FINE LINE

A FINE LINE

.

.


My whole life changed when I gave myself permission


To underline passages in my books


Before that day the sentences were like exotic animals


In a zoo, fascinating and untouchable


Or a garden tour, look but don't pick


Now I go into the inky jungle with my pencil


Spearing juicy phrases, trapping profound ideas


As I harvest the fruits of great minds


The ripe and sweet notions that I digest 


Until they become part of my very being
