Yellow - Unedited

A clean yellow sheet
Spread out before me,
Laid out - waiting for me,
I’m talking about a sticky note, mind you,
Not a legal pad - ew.
What will I do with it,
With this wide yellow expanse
Of pure potential?
Will I make another paper plan,
A wisp of a smoke of a tendril of nothingness,
An idea of a thought of a dream,
Nothing more, nothing less?
All the numbers in place,
The figures and the data,
The pros and the cons,
The crows and the sparrows,
Everything ready
Except - me.
