no-longer-blank books on the shelf above me
reminding me of the way I used to write poems
one draft after another in blue or black ink
until they improved enough
to be tried out at open mics
>
other items in those books
including poems given to me
by poets no longer part of the scene
plus post-it notes with names
and addresses of poetry venues
that I eventually attended
>
in those days
before I became aware
of how unaware I was
