COLLAGE

Making a collage of my life,
well that's possible
but it would look more like
the stuff in my kitchen sink
than anything else.

It would be filled with many
random thoughts not sure
where to go

then you would see
even more
thoughts waiting for direction
any direction

and finally
you would find ideas
more ideas
than you've ever seen
before in your life.

You see, I have ideas
and then I have ideas most of them
are looking for a map
waving signs on the street corner
or taking one more walk
hoping that they will
find the perfect map.

So
if you are on a walk
and happen to run
into one of my ideas
could you please send it back to me soon
it has a perfect place waiting for it
in the collage of my life

a perfect place.
