unruled

bound unruled white paper
notebooks
four rupees a piece, for no rules -
rest all
have at least 25 lines on their faces
page after page!
but these new ones where the faces are
loosely bound to the
spine - have no rules at all, and they say
it is immoral to be so, free love.
that is me. that is us. that is how
we and the things are.
who do they think they are? endless and immortal? not me
oh no. never.
