The Stash<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m learning
\nto imagine
\na little stash.<\/p>\n

Mine has
\nmaps of places
\nI have a yen
\nto see,<\/p>\n

stories
\nI have an itch
\nto tell,
\nwith oddball,
\nmisfit
\ncharacters
\nI want you to
\nmeet,<\/p>\n

lists of
\nwriters and
\nmoviemakers
\nwhose own
\nquirky
\nimaginations
\nI\u2019d love to
\nsit down with,
\non my shady
\ngarden bench,
\nor my front row
\nsofa seat.<\/p>\n

This stash
\nhas a sacred
\npurpose:<\/p>\n

If I am
\nbeing sucked
\ninto the
\nBlack Hole,
\nyou know
\nthe one,
\nwhere shame
\nor alienation
\nare wrestling you
\ninto
\nsurrender,<\/p>\n

your Stash
\ncan be your
\nlifeboat.<\/p>\n

Trust me
\non this.<\/p>\n
