A case

Is there a case to be made
a first affirmative delivered in defense
of collating those second-rate thoughts

you might not see again (or even miss)?
Shake them out of your hands, those
drops of borrowed blue electric ink

to make room in the sides of your fingers
for some top-notch scribble sent down
like a message

in a lunchbox on string
you once lowered through a bannister
to rest on the carpet down below

just in case
someone curious walked by.
