Mister Ishmael ~
Writer's Dispair
He wonders--
Why am I writing this down?
How can I but gain the reader's ear
if only through pity
that what I am trying to say
is worth saying
even if I am
unmatched to the task
and horrible in the delivery.
But the message is mightier than I
thus I must write even if
to only write around
as best I can
the most obsure,
hardly able to hold onto,
sometimes I see it and
sometimes I don't,
yet I write
I write
The life of man is pitiful--
writer's write to make it
less pitiful I suppose.
Thus the comparisons of white.
