Listing

He made a list

of all that he could remember
the bleeding eccentrics
reclusive star bursts
and the radiators

he wrote their names

vertically and without numbers
like a narrow road
he wrote their names in ink

he hung it on his mantle and contemplated them
then rising slowly he removed them from their altar
and dropped them to their fate
burning fantasies

History is full of examples of people who didn't discover their real creative abilities until they discovered the media in which they thought best. - Sir Ken Robinson
