Story Right On

Create from one l e t t e r at a — no

one word at a time. Letters are meaningless

without formulation. Take a cat,

turn it into car by one letter (just one space) over on

my QWERTY. Is that power or what?

Move a mountain from one country to another

a BACKSPACE or DELETE. Be a millionaire with a mansion

pay people to keep it clean or live nomad-like, free eagle on a dollar bill

be chased throughout the country.

I can be bias-free. I can make it so that la gente son sin color

in their perceptions of other human beings. Rewrite history

so there is no slavery, that this nation was not built on hundreds of years of free labor

then there would be more equality and people would need another reason to bend the knee.

I have power in these hands.

Spark the imagination, make one think twice about concepts;

cause mindsets to change, shift paradigms these hands

have choices and I ask, What will I choose to do with these hands today?

What will I create?

Who will be the hero?

Who will be the villain?

Will the conflict be internal or external?

How will my plot thicken?

Resolution can come fast or slow?

How does one like their climax to be followed?

This writing life…
