Marking up the pages
with shades of blue and green ink
because red always looks too much
like blood.
Red would be more fitting since
the ink on the page
represents what life depends on.
(oops, I ended a sentence in a preposition
seems to be a problem of mine
along with dangling modifiers)
Marking up the page with shades of
blue and green ink
deciding what to cut, which
sutures to pull
which incisions to make
so I can piece my writing back together.
Maybe I’ll do a better job than Frankenstein
and the final project will pass for a book.
