Why Do I Write?... By: Bunny Villaire

Small talk stinks!...

Because to gab is not enough...

...I must break ice more

Precisely.

I write because below the skin

There is an untried river of

Sound and langauge...

...I want to ride this river,

And to feel what

My soul is truly saying!...

(The format of this write may

Seem like poetry,

But to be fair,

You said no 'peotry',

And nevertheless,

Poetry is not always 'poetry'

To me...

To me it is an answer to a

Question,

Which is what this prompt is...)

I write to fight for my existence,

And the existence of others

That wish to listen, and learn, and love

What is beyond, and within themselves.

I write to create a new reality like

The Existentialist and

Australian Aborigines

Aspire to do; through dreams or action...

...I will always write,

And I will always dream...

These two things are in league with

Each other.
