Clack clack
Swipe tear swipe tear
Rip scrunch throw rip scrunch throw
Letters lying in a half-full bin
Half-empty with discarded words
Pen furiously gliding across the page
Skidding to a pause with a dot
A break in breath
No pause in mind
Words turning over like a pancakes breadth
Ancient letters merge into one
Short spaces determining translucent words
Line tops line, upon and upon
Till finally
Symbols form letters
Letters form words
Words form lines
Lines form a poem
A poem worth the half-empty bin
Worth the throwing, ripping scrunching
Worth the tearing and swiping
A poem worth the clacking
