"Wrinkled paper"
Have you not hands
carved with experience
pitted with prints
wrinkled and old?
Have you not a mind
which has tossed away
memories you thought
meant nothing?
Have you not intuition

which guided you
to these very words
which speak volumes?
Have you not life?
For life,
you must speak
and write.

Each page is clearly written and carefully penned
Like a roundabout without stopping
