CONCENTRATION.

small black letters

the pages reborn
coming alive

a newborn -- learning to crawl, learning to walk
virginally processing cognitions
alphabets walk and tumble and dip
and daisy over gray matter

now, a rainbow
they swoon and skip and form vocabulary
a few dream
schedules inked, grass maimed by body parts
and thrift store jeans
and converse shoes and
to read again someday. again.
