Phone
Scribbles
Some phone scribbles today
captured
during a call
from
a designer of dreams,
asking advice about building
glass and metal walls.
He
asked me how to build
what he wants to see,
using resources I understand
much better than he.
A
designer of dreams,
he
taught a very young me
how
to see more than grades
and
a lucrative career.
Over
the years listening
to
his ever enduring ideas
lost
in the design of another dream,
I
now retired
after
a long lucrative career,
was sort of bored.
Along the edge of a pad of notes
my scribbles mix between his
words
reminds me like the scribbles of
youth
lost to his design dreams,
the scribbles like his dreams
never truly understood.
This
was the first day back from a vacation, my first day back to draw, something I
didn’t do for over two weeks.
Kind
of proud of myself.
The
call, out of the blue, left me with only these scribbles during the conversation,
to post.
