She and I

She and I
We are artists
our paint is letters
our canvas a blank
computer screen

Sometimes a word slips out
a sentence
before we blink
before we think
to stop it

There is no white out for our work

So you must excuse our typos
excuse our grammatical
incorrectness
and keep in mind the whole story
not just
the words that slipped
before we could blink
before we could think
to stop it

She and I
We are musicians
Our notes are commas
our instruments
old pencils

We bit the erasers off years ago

So please excuse our handwriting
our blobs of ink
or tear smeared words
and keep in mind
the story

    Incredible. A poetic story of what art truly is.
    And art it is.

    you're a favorite.

    beautiful

    Sandy is the most beautiful, amazing, and talented person to walk this earth. Her poetry is blessed! If she ever stopped writing I am sure I would die. I love you!
