when artists
walk away
from fan
critic public...
eye spaces
store mind
muse creativity
in wall safe spaces
throw away
rabbit hole key
to pulse public
accessibility...
nothing shared
proves the lie
to nothing created
sterility
it is only
sharing
which is
chosen as...
decision
undesired
liability
J. D. Salinger
who wrote
the famous
cipher novel
'The Catcher
in the Rye'
in past 1951
wrote
at least
another
15 or 16
novels
he never...
published
just wrote
locked kept
in a safe
Prince
wrote songs
and kept
them in a safe
songs not
released
shared
heard
more songs
in a month
than most
musicians...
write
in a note year
never released
never heard
Prince
wrote
songs
amassed...
kept
locked
hidden
in a safe
I think
I will walk
that road
for a while...
write poems
give them
to the wind
to the sea
strike a match
flame hard copies
ash in dust wind
grey rain word flakes...
finger poised
over delete
key pressed
going going gone
