I write better in margins.
The words form curves and jump off
next to scratches and scribbles and dangling thoughts
that chase after the center.
Straight lines and clean paper are for the disciplined.
Those who have their minds together
and order verse after verse of insightful description
to fire back against my predictable metaphors.

cool
revolutionary! I like your style! -
I enjoyed reading this. As you were very descriptive about writing. I could visualize the words on a piece of paper as I read this poem. I use to write my poetry on paper. I wrote better that way, and let me say, it was very messy. But even my poems I post on websites are not all left aligned. However, if I have to use paper instead of the computer everything I write is always done by margins. Again, I enjoyed reading this.

You're so hard on yourself. Reading this poem makes me want to phtoshop a picture of your face onto another picture (of a very angry person with a very affable middle finger) so it comes across like you're flicking off the person who took the picture... and across the top I'll write in big bold letters: "Predict this!" and they'll publish it on the cover of People magazine and you'll give me that look you give me and I'll just smile and it'll be like old times, and we'll read your obtusely non-marginal musings in the sunset together to the movie-montage tune of "You Make My Dreams" by Hall and Oates and you'll finally admit (in theory) how beautiful you are... even though you won't say so in words.
