Share Them With Yourself First

Here's a pad and a pen!

'What is this for? '

You said you had ideas?

'I do.
But I want to share them with you.'

Share them with yourself first.
And if they make sense to you...
Eventually,
I will know what they are.

'How will you know that? '

You would have made them important.
I have my own ideas.
And the sacrifice it takes,
To get them to breathe...
Is time consuming.
With a patience that keeps me awake.
