Poem: With/Without Words

by Jack Brummet

1
If I don't write it down
It's gone like a pickpocket,
Easing back into the crowd.

2
If I don’t write it down,
The earth, unaware

Of the loss,

Spins away--

With or without

The words.

3
If I don’t write it down,
The words race away
Like a hit and run driver.
