The Most Important Page

notebooks have been stacked in precarious piles
filled with short stories
bad drawings
and
of course
poems

you have littered desktops and laptops with a near exorbitant amount
of word documents containing the verses you hold so dear
but again i must remind you

he who wrote
was
a poet
he who writes
is

of all the pages you have vandalized with your "art"
the one you ought most cherish is the one yet untouched
the blank page
the most important page

so grab a pen
and get to work
before your destiny escapes
