Jots of thoughts in my journal
How does editing sound,
Illegible words, random thoughts
Scratching out the rhyme
Fighting the meter
the lines through the jetsam
Like the word balloons in the Batman show
Erasures like sandpaper
Maybe a planer
Milling raw oak into boards
Fighting the knots in my prose
to see the grain embedded within
