Writing Infinity
The Worlds in Between
Writing is good for me
but I wonder
why is it good for me?
I discovered then that
a blank page is
the mightiest thing
in the world
and more
a blank sheet
is mightiest than
the world
On a blank sheet
I can fit
all the worlds
I can shape them
at my whim
I can be me
I can be another
I can do and be
whatever I want
god and devil
and everything in
between
Then
not only did I discover
the true magnitude
of a blank sheet of paper
but I discovered
that it is
the only place
where my mind is
totally
f
r
e
e
That's why it is good for me
to write
because I am
my own sovereign
of my world
I write on one side
and on the other side
of the page
I can invent a world
on one page
and a world on the other
I can be someone different
in each of those worlds
or the same one in both worlds
This led me to think that
if there is a world
on one side
and another
on the other side
between those worlds
there is a
s p a c e
An inner space
the inside of the page
where no one can write
but there is
a dimension
between what we write
on one side
and
on the other side
We will never access
that world
but it
exists
it is there
I thought of
cutting the sheet
but by cutting it
in the middle
I have two blank sheets
again
a couple of worlds
per sheet
and another secluded world
inside it
I can repeat this
until I can no longer
divide the blank sheet
anymore
and there will always remain
an insular world
where no one has access
where no one can write
that is
the infinity of
a blank sheet
Then
I realize again that
writing is good for me
I am free
I write, I write, and write
and then
I turn the page
and discover
yet
another world.
