Poem- My Paper Friend

Oh, Paper Friend--
I need your kind patience of pages,
Your passive blankness,
Out of which I can coax my own expression
& see it in the face.
You are true.
You do not gloss or hide or change what I dare reveal.
You just accept
And keep me true to my own words,
For they are still waiting in your perfect memory.
