I have learned

that my electronic library is temporary mine for just so long as I can keep myself breathing and supplied with currency for wires    magnetic electrons    sailing swirling    pulsing in waves    from one device to . . . finally my brain

to bombard my 80 year old mind     in part

with simple reading    just me    and some words

a foray an artist’s hunt for new ideas new angles    new light new shadows

I still work    I still learn

so much unread in my electronic library and, I must now admit diminishing time

can a writer’s words teach me how to plot better poetry combine irreplaceable sounds

draw better lines    find better colors

carve deeper depths

design new kinds of fun

can a writer’s words help me

see    hear    feel

   what I have never    or have always

seen     heard    felt before

if so, read on

or try another

or write design create invent
