i do not care if they burn he wrote on his last blank notecard he'd have to go to the office supply store tomorrow after work he looked at what he'd written he'd been thinking about this for a while felt the frustration build slowly like a thundercloud in the back of his mind he thought he should write something else on the card but everything he thought of seemed too confessional or too real compromising he did not want anyone not even the notecards to know what he was thinking he decided to try for more of an interview with the paper why asked the notecard because there is nothing important on any of them he wrote back what do you mean you have some good stuff in that top drawer there he looked in the top drawer it was stuffed full of notecards in no organization he could see bits and pieces of thoughts like leaves crunched underfoot in autumn it will take so much organization he wrote why is organization important remember the trees how they formed rows without trying no matter how the ideas fall they make something the snow does that too he wrote it does not try to make anything but it does no the snow is different the notecard was annoyed the snow is a blank canvas that humans build into shapes or doppelgangers it makes nothing on its own
