One Reason Why I Write

I write because my words like paper more than air.
When they take off from my tongue they dont fly
away. More like may day!
Most rather to drive, so they travel north
from the heart's center and take a right
down the main tunnel to exits 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
My words like to view the scenery
on the way, and if it is too long a trip,
they can pull over at a rest stop for a while.
Sometimes they realize
that they really don't want to come out yet,
or ever,
so they make a u-turn home.
Some words just aren't the traveling type at all.
At least this way,
they can always turn around
and wait for a better day
to make the journey.
