blank page
sitting
alone
on an empty desk
waiting
for a little boy
to come.

write
and the page
would
be happy
filled
with happy words.

enter
the little boy
with a pen
filled with ink
and
as he wrote
the page smiled
and was happy.
till
inksplatter
covered
in ink
thick
black.

the boy
cried.

crumpled page
laying in
the garbage
dreaming back
to emptiness.
