i'd better write this down

i'll forget my

inspiration,

no doubt, so i write it down

on the back

of an envelope.

i fold it,

and stick it in my

back pocket,

but forget to take it

out when

i throw the jeans

into the washer

for a long soak,

then dryer.

i can't for the life

of me

make out what i wrote.

it's smudged

and blurry,

faded.

so it came to writing

this instead.
