Page Infection

As I write, as I type,
these words, these thoughts

(Whether on the page
or in electric memory)

Am I setting them free?
Or am I imprisoning them?

Language and ideas are like a virus:
Once you read them, you’re infected.

Perhaps we’re lucky that most ideas die
long before they ever reach the page

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
