The Poet's Notebook

by David Knape

Sitting in a wooden chair
in the back of the bookstore
there is a man
writing stuff down
in a little notebook

people come down the aisle
looking
for books and things
they do not know
they are being watched
and written about

the man records their features
their quirks
their conversations
his eyes are his camera
his pen is his recorder

they do not see the man
they have no idea
they have become words

immortalized forever
inside the poet's notebook.
